can i replace a 2.6.10 gen_init_cpio.c with a current one?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i'm currently stuck with a 2.6.10 kernel on a current project, and i
would like to build an initramfs with symlinks.  the gen_init_cpio.c
program back then didn't support "slink", but the new one does.  am i
safe to simply replace that program?  are there any backward
incompatibilities that will bite me in the a$$?
