sed -i -e "s/invalid_arg/argmatch_invalid/" src/mt.c: This command fixes a build problem with the mt program.

CPIO_MT_PROG=mt: This parameter forces the building and installation of the mt program.

--bindir=/bin: This parameter installs cpio to /bin instead of /usr/bin as recommended by the FHS guidelines.

--libexecdir=/tmp: This parameter is used so that /usr/libexec is not created.

--with-rmt=/usr/sbin/rmt: This parameter inhibits building the rmt program as it is already installed by the Tar package in LFS.

echo "#define HAVE_SETLOCALE 1" >> config.h: This command specifies that the system Libc implements the setlocale function since it is not detected by configure.

echo "#define HAVE_LSTAT 1" >> config.h: This define fixes a bug that causes cpio to convert symlinks into regular files during archive creation.
