cpio-2.4.2 & glibc-2.*

[Florian Wunderlich]

I still do not see a new version of cpio or at least extra patches that
fix it so it works with the glibc. Thus, here is a simple patch to make
it compile with glibc:

Of course, this should probably be protected with #if instead of simply
deleting it.

Could you please at least upload this to ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/cpio/
so that people don't have to do this over and over again?
