There are two possibilities: you are giving tar the wrong command, or you
have a corrupted archive.  I successfully un-tar'ed gcc-2.0 with:

	tar xvf gcc-2.0.tar

If you continue getting that error, you either have a corrupted or incomplete
archive.  Try downloading it again.  BTW I'm working on a DECstation 5000/200
running Ultrix 4.2.
