Are you **absolutely** certain you did this on a fresh source tree?
There wasn't an old config.cache accidentally laying around?

You should have seen "checking for gtar ..." in the ./configure output.
What did it say on that line (and maybe the next couple of lines)?

BTW, I just tried this on my system and it "did the right thing".
We just have to figure out what is different about your setup.
