[Bug-tar] xheader.c: wrong cast

[Trond Hasle Amundsen]

Hi all tar dudes,

Solaris' C compiler choked on xheader.c in tar-1.16.1:

  "xheader.c", line 1097: operands have incompatible types:
           struct timespec {long tv_sec, long tv_nsec} ":" const struct 
timespec {long tv_sec, long tv_nsec}
  cc: acomp failed for xheader.c

The following patch fixed the issue for me:

diff -ru src-1.16.1/src/xheader.c src-1.16.1-local/src/xheader.c
--- src-1.16.1/src/xheader.c    2006-12-05 08:37:59.000000000 +0100

 }
 

PS. Please CC me, since I'm not on the list.
