Hi,
tar-1.19 doesn't build on Solaris 5.6/5.8, IRIX 6.5, HP-UX 11.XX etc.
sample build log from Solaris 5.8:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cc -fast -xtarget=ultra3 -xarch=v8plusa -I/usr/local/include
-I/usr/local/devel/libiconv/1.11-static/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/devel/libiconv/1.11-static/include -g -c -o
strerror.o strerror.c
"strerror.c", line 32: undefined symbol: CHAR_BIT
"strerror.c", line 32: variable length array can not be declared with a static
storage class: mesg
cc: acomp failed for strerror.c
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the following mini-patch fixes this problem for the plattforms mentioned above:
