Hi!

I noticed that 'tar' 1.35 fails to build on hurd-i386.  The last build
that worked was 1.34.

Is it possible to support >y38k on hurd-i386?  If so, ought that be
reported as a feature request for upstream tar?

If it is not possible, should 'tar' be built with --disable-year2038 on
hurd-i386 so that it doesn't FTBFS at least?

-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 option for large files... none needed
checking for -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wdate-time 
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 option for timestamps after 2038... support not detected
configure: error: in '/build/reproducible-path/tar-1.35+dfsg':

This package recommends support for these later
timestamps. However, to proceed with signed 32-bit
time_t even though it will fail then, configure with
'--disable-year2038'.
