[Bug-tar] Tar 1.28 fails to build on Darwin 14.0 (OS X 10.10)

[Firas Kraiem]

Hello

As the title says, tar 1.28 fails to build on Darwin 14.0.  The error
messages seem to indicate that this is related to xattrs, but using
./configure --without-xattrs results in the same output.  This also
seems unrelated to the use of clang (as opposed to gcc): using clang
works fine on a GNU/Linux system.  The output of make follows.
