Could we apply at least the first patch?  That fixes not nice segfault
caused by `find /sys | ./src/cpio -o > a.cpio`.  That is caused because
cpio is unable to handle negative error value from read(), look at:

  src/util.c:229: input_size = read (in_des, input_buffer, num_bytes);

The second patch is not so important but it is usual to use -Wall option.
So please consider.  Both patches are re-attached reformatted against
current HEAD.
