[Bug-tar] tar 1.15.90 failure on Solaris 10 with Sun C 5.7 (sparc 64)

[Paul Eggert]

I configured with "./configure 'CC=cc -xarch=v9' CXX='CC -xarch=v9'".
"make check" fails in test 30 (Split directory members in a MV
archive).  Here is the output of "./testsuite -v -d 30".  Sorry, I've
run out of time to look into it tonight but thought I'd document the
problem.
