I just tested the heirloom suite here with a GNU cpio-built archive,
and it seems to unpack the hardlinks cleanly:

And it looks like it creates the archive format the same way that GNU
cpio does (at least as far as the hardlinks go):

(weird that heirloom's cpio appears to call this format "sco" -- yet
another term for the 070701 magic number)
I built the heirloom suite (version 070715) on debian lenny/sid by
just unpacking the tarball and running "make".
I haven't had a chance to test out OpenSolaris's implementation yet.
Hope this is helpful,
