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

[Fabio Massimo Di Nitto]

The patch does indeed build a proper cpio to use external setlocale().
Verified both on edgy and dapper.

I am proceeding now with tests.

Edgy: i386/ppc/sparc initramfs regeneration works fine (all machines booted with that)
Edgy: i386 LSB tests in progress with the old cpio to make sure we hit the bug. Will follow soon with fixed cpio and a full rerun on powerpc.

Dapper will need to wait once i am done with Edgy since i need to free
the machines.
