I built tar-1.11 on a Sun Sparcstation SunOS 4.1.1.

I found several indented cpp-directives in buffer.c and extract.c; after
removing leading spaces, these compiled OK.  Search for:

    /^ [ ]*#/


I also had to add a target in Makefile.in (and so the Makefile):

    getdate.c: getdate.y
	    yacc getdate.y
	    mv y.tab.c getdate.c


Small point: Makefile says:

    # getdate.y has 8 shift/reduce conflicts.

But I get "9 shift/reduce conflicts" from yacc.


Lastly:  I notice there's no pre-yacc'ed getdate.c in the distribution
tar file; how do you expect PC users to build it?
