[Bug-cpio] link and dereference options combined

Hi,

I'm using cpio 2.11 and passing the parameters -L and -l together. 

My intent was to copy a directory of files as hardlinks but there are
also some symbolic links mixed in there. I wanted the symlinks resolved
to files which would preferably be hardlinked.

In reality, the symbolic links are copied unmodified. Is this a bug in
cpio? What should the behaviour with both options specified for symlinks
be?

Cheers,

Richard
