There's a portability issue in the symlink-long regression test
added to cpio 2.12.
The {n..m} range construct is a recent invention of ksh93 and bash.
Here's a replacement with standard shell syntax. I picked expr(1)
over POSIX shell arithmetic for maximum portability.
The seq(1) command is not standard either, just to forestall
suggestions in that direction.
