Can you try tar --show-defaults making special note of a. whether that works, and b. what the default is for the --format option. On my FC6 machine, the output is --format=gnu -f- -b20 --rmt-command=/sbin/rmt
on pegasus: % gtar --show-defaults --format=gnu -f- -b20 --rmt-command=/sbin/rmt
So I guess autoconf for some daft reason passes flags to tar to make the resulting tar some Unix standard or something.
To be precise:
am__tar = ${AMTAR} chof - "$$tardir"
I recall why this happens now. From Mbootstrap: # patch aclocal.m4 to "de-force" Uninx V7 tar format with `make dist`, # since we do have filenames/-paths longer than 99 characters. perl -i -p -e 's| chof | chf |g' aclocal.m4 IOW the problem was never solved, but hacked around. Since I don't use Mbootstrap (I rely on default aclocal, autoheader, autoconf, etc. behaviour), I don't get this "fix". Problem solved.
