since cpio is reading from STDIN already (cpio -itv &lt; bigFile), can we assume 'cat bigFile | cpio -itv'  won't work either?

	I am trying to open up a backup that was created with CPIO and it is giving me the error that the file is too large.  The file is 2.5 gig.  I have seen references on the web to compiling cpio in 64 bit mode, but I am not sue exactly how to go about doing that.  I am running Fedora Core 2 (on Intel), and the partition is an ext3 partition.  Any ideas on how I can extract out the files in this archive.  I downloaded the cpio source from GNU, but I did not see an intuitive way to change it to allow for
the larger files.

	Thanks, 
	Doug
