Hi,

It looks like a simple substitution patch for the build files.
If you wanted to do the right thing, you could contact the upstream
and ask them about it.
I have commit access to upstream myself and have contact to the
developers, so I could to that myself even.
However, when I did a "source" build myself before attempting packages,
this did not happen.
gnustep-gui has no single reference to gnutar, it call apparently comes
down from gnustep-make which checks for available programs during
configure. I think I never had gnutar on the machine. I can't say for
the buidfarm, because gnustep-base package is still not complete.
inside gnustep-make configure.ac I found:
AC_CHECK_PROGS(TAR, gnutar gtar, tar)
this should actually check for gnustar first, gtar then.. and as
fallback use tar, right?
perhaps gnustep-make is configured without the proper environment and
can't find csw's tar ? But that still would fallback to solaris tar, not
use gnutar indeed.
