I have the following four patches which are still applicable to 2.9.90:

1) missing space in cpio.texi (fixed in CVS)
2) Robert Millan's patch to set O_BINARY where available
3) pack old_cpio_header and old_ascii_header structs to avoid breakage
   on old ARM ABI.
4) pax exit code stuff (fixed in git)

Do I recall correctly that #2 was to be fixed upstream a different way
or did I make that up?
