Mandrake Cooker has RPM and SRPM for tar 1.13.19 and you can get it on
rpmfind.net. I suggest building from the src.rpm unless you're running
Mandrake:

I have no idea if this is "stable" but I'm going to test it out.
Do you know how to build binary RPMs optimized for other architecture
eg. i586 and i686? I think you have to do something to the spec file,
but I'm not sure what.
