Backing up to cpio-2.5-9 works around this problem...sigh The effect is even bigger when you pack/unpack (mkinitd) the kernel. Since the symlinks are not created you end with a empty /sbin for the initrd image and bunch of error messages during boot. Going back to 2.5-9 solves the problem too. Dang, what a pain this was to track down. I'm no expert with autotools, but if you're using HAVE_* #define's, don't those have to be generated by your configure script and set in config.h or something like that? Take a look at lib/system.h and you'll see a '#define lstat stat' line that's wrapped with a '#if !HAVE_LSTAT ...' block, but I can't see anywhere in the entire source tree where lstat is actually being checked for and HAVE_LSTAT subsequently being set. This code didn't exist in cpio-2.5. Frankly, this looks like half finished code. Not sure what the best fix is other than just deleting that '#if' block altogether (I tried it and it does work, at least for i386). Please look at: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cpio/2005-01/msg00003.html The bug has been fixed upstream. Created attachment 109859 [details]
My patch. Could not find that one from upstream
