   I got GNU tar 1.11 compiled on our HP 9000/720 machines running HP-UX 8.07, but not after some struggles:

   [Note that if you set CFLAGS to any optimisation level (e.g. +O3), create.c
   generates some very "dangerous" compiler warnings about optimisation. It's a
   message about "differences between two arrays won't be properly optimised"]

Not surprising.  Tar wouldn't lint well...

   Source code changes:

   buffer.c and extract.c had some cpp directives indented by one column, which
   isn't right.

   SERIOUS BUG IN list.c:

   The "v" option of "tar cvf" was only printing blank lines for the filenames !
   After comparing 1.10 and 1.11, it was clear that a new variable had been
   substituted in list.c (current_file_name) that wasn't properly set up. I
   changed it back to the old 1.10 variable (although it was now arch_name rather than name) and tar cvf correctly printed the filenames out.

   A modified version of tar 1.11 for HP-UX machines is now available from our
   anonymous FTP site, ftp.csc.liv.ac.uk (138.253.42.172).

Nobody should need this; please don't pick it up.  All the bugs
mentioned in this article have been fixed, and an intermediate release
will be made today including them and some other bugs.  I'm not able
to fix bugs in multiple divergent distributions.  The standard
distribution should run on HP-UX just fine.
