Re: [Bug-tar] The bootstrap process from git master is again broken

[Paul Eggert]

Maybe Sergey is using an older compiler?  Or not building from sources 
that have a .git subdirectory?  Either might explain why he's not 
getting the failures that you and I do.  Anyway, I fixed 'make 
bootstrap' by installing the attached patch.  One other suggestion: we 
can avoid trivial whitespace differences by putting something like the 
following into our ~/.emacs files:

(setq whitespace-action '(auto-cleanup))
(setq whitespace-style '(trailing empty))
(global-whitespace-mode t)
