This build worked fine when originally run. It appears that the
behaviour of cpio has changed with respect to dangling symbolic links.
$ mkdir -p /tmp/cpio-test/{a,b}
$ cd /tmp/cpio-test
$ ln -s foo a/bar
$ cd a; echo bar | cpio -vdumpl ../b
cpio: bar: No such file or directory
0 blocks
This worked in previous versions of cpio (2.4.2 for example).
