Portage is being run as the portage user (FEATURES userpriv) and cannot create
uid 0 files. Options to fix this are:
1. Unpack the tar before the make does using the 'unpack' directive and hope
that the make process detects that it is unpacked.
2. Hack the make process to change the tar command to "tar
- --no-same-owner" ...
Could use:
sed -i -e 's#tar #tar --no-same-owner #' Makefile
or some variation of it.
