See --format=posix in chapter 'tar Options' (online version at http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/tar_43.html#SEC43), and the discussion of various tar formats in chapter 'Controlling the Archive Format' (online version at http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/tar_120.html#SEC120). In short it boils down to the following: give -H pax (or -H posix, or --format=posix) option to tar when creating the archive.
