I forgot it in about 3 or 4 scripts, but that didn't impact the build process a lot. For investigation, I just ran make check check on a newly wget'ed (wgotten?) tar-1.30.tar.xz on my virtual machine in the cloud. "Test # 154: listing sparse files bigger than 2^33 B" created a file named tests/testsuite.dir/154/pax/BIGFILE, that grew to a whopping 20 GB / 20961034240 B before the test finished. The test name kind of implies this, of course. How do people get this thing to go through on limited space? (20GB is not that much this day and age, but still, I'd never have guessed I'd need that much space for setting up an LFS).
