[Bug-tar] Re: tar 1.16 configure warning

[David Holloway]

Oh great, now I can't reproduce the symptoms..
and now I can overcome problems with @LongLink by using gnu tar.

Anyway, here's my theory.
Some set of #define macros lead the system headers to be out of whack 
and the key I think
is that the some headers think_X_OPEN_SOURCE is defined and some don't. 
Its just a guess.

One thing to mention, between now and reporting the symptom to bug-tar,
I patched the OS to the latest patch from HP, so this might have been a 
problem
only seen by an unpatched OS.
