I think I know what's happening:

[8:14pm]/tmp/xx-117# find -dx . -print 
./1
./2
./3
./4
.
[8:14pm]/tmp/xx-118# find -dx . -print | cpio -dump /tmp/xx
cpio: ./1: No such file or directory
cpio: ./2: No such file or directory
cpio: ./3: No such file or directory
cpio: ./4: No such file or directory
0 blocks
[8:15pm]/tmp/xx-119# l
total 2
1 drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 May 28 20:15 ./
1 drwxrwxrwt  6 root  wheel  512 May 28 20:14 ../
[8:15pm]/tmp/xx-120# 

The 'bootstrap' target is probably the culprit, it can't be removing the 
symlinks and the cpio must be trying to copy the files over themselves 
(and unlinking them first).  Are you using -DNOCLEAN by any chance?

Cheers,
