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).
