[Bug 59228] Re: cpio build glitch breaks Unicode char handling

[Simon Law]

Verified to work with LSB test suite 3.1.0-6 on i386 and amd64.

I've also verified that it works by hand, and is backwards compatible
with Dapper's cpio.

Finally, I've ensured that it generates the correct initramfs to boot
i386 and amd64 kernels.
