Just an initial note that I'm getting one test failure in tar:

   92: link mismatch                                   FAILED (difflink.at:19)

Past experience suggests it is likely to be specific to me, but I'll
report it upstream when I have a moment.

Google found a link comparing the test file between 1.29 and 1.30 at
https://fossies.org/diffs/tar/1.29_vs_1.30/tests/testsuite-diff.html
which shows this seems to be a new test.

Know issue.  From the mailing list:

Hello Bruce,

Which mailing list? Have a link?

The test passes for me. Using a current CLFS build in the running
instance. Two people. One passes. One fails. Need more info here. The
patch may help it PASS, but I want to know why, and there is not enough
info.
