Why not use tar? Or, if for some reason you must use an archive format
that is sensitive to time zone, why not set TZ when extracting? That

Your 'make touch' workaround does not work for packages that contain some
*.m4 files, an aclocal.m4 file, a configure file, and a config.h.in

It's not buggy, it's just a poorly-designed archive format. That's why I used
the 'make touch' workaround, which conveniently also gets around wrong-system-
time problems,

Does OSUOSL possibly have an NTP server that can be used for the CF
