Is int64_t a POSIX defined type?
In any case, cpio gets the value from the stat struct.  So ultimately the
question then becomes: what type does the member in the stat struct have?
Shouldn't this be ino_t by definition?  And isn't it then equally useless
(on Windows) to take that value and store it in cpio?
