Description of problem:

Hello there,

I have just tried to compile mc-4.5.55-12 from Redhat 8.0

Here are some of the messages the compiler produces

cc: Info: cpio.c, line 303: In this statement, an array is being accessed outside the bounds specified for the array type. (subscrbounds)
cc: Info: cpio.c, line 351: In this statement, an array is being accessed outside the bounds specified for the array type. (subscrbounds)

Here is an untested patch to shut up the compiler.
