Actually, that's not quite true for tar 1.19 due to a last-minute
minor configuration bug in the distribution; see
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2007-10/msg00013.html>.
Well, v1.18 compiled just fine on Solaris, anyway. :-)
You can work around the problem by configuring with something like the
following shell command:
CC='gcc -DCHAR_BIT=8' ./configure
The problem will be fixed in the next tar version.
...but thanks for the note about 1.19, and thanks for your work on
GNU tar, Paul.
