Ah. I've upgraded to Snow Leopard. It turns out that in Snow Leopard tar is bsdtar which is a change from Leopard which had tar = gnutar. But /usr/bin/gnutar still exists so I guess we should just have configure pick that one. I'm a bit surprised that I'm the first one to trip over this, Manuel has been validating on Snow Leopard for quite some time now. Manuel, doesn't this happen for you?
