 I also see it on a pre-3.0 branch current. When built with -g stack trace is:
 (gdb) where
 #0  0x4810c4ef in strncmp () from /lib/libc.so.12
 #1  0x4811cfc8 in __isthreaded () from /lib/libc.so.12
 #2  0x08054ca2 in getoldopt (argc=2, argv=0xbfbfe8ac, 
     optstring=0x8063fe0 "+abcdfiklmoprstuvzABC:E:F:H:I:LM:O:R:SVZ6", 
     longopts=0x8067900, idx=0x0) at getoldopt.c:63
 #3  0x080562fb in cpio_options (argc=2, argv=0xbfbfe8ac) at options.c:1377
 #4  0x08054e09 in options (argc=2, argv=0xbfbfe8ac) at options.c:202
 #5  0x0805868c in main (argc=2, argv=0xbfbfe8ac) at pax.c:280
 #6  0x0804a2c2 in ___start ()
 
 I'm not sure the __isthreaded() here is right. getoldopt.c:63 is a call to
 getopt_long().
