Package: cpio
Version: 2.11-8
Severity: normal

User: [email protected]

cpio does not build against eglibc-2.16 due to gets having been removed
but embedded gnulib in package still referring to it.

Upstream bug links are in the patch. 

This patch makes it work by #ifdefing the offending line but the proper 
fix is a new upstream release using a newer gnulib.

This patch allows eglibc 2.16 to be uploaded and for the arm64 port to
proceed.
