I built GNUtar (yes, that's tar-1.11.1.tar.Z) the other day. No
problem at all: unpack the distribution, cd tar-1.11.1, run the
included configure script, type make and that's it. This is for 3.0 -
the problems posed for some stuff by the new location of the includes
didn't turn up at all. Probably that's because I had just made and
installed gcc-2.3.1, which also compiled out of the box (only problem
I encountered was the need to change a couple of // style comments in
an include file to /* */ style to correct an "unterminated constant"
error). Whether gnutar would go through as well with the 3.0 version
of cc I don't know.
