Re: [Bug-tar] Unable to build tar with PGI compilers

[Stewart, Adam James]

Hi Bruno,

1. This is on CentOS 6.8.

$ uname -a
Linux blogin4 2.6.32-642.11.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 18 19:25:05 UTC 2016 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I don't know much about SELinux, so I can't tell you what mode it is running in.

2. Here is the relevant section from config.log:

It would be good to know:
  1. on which platform you are experiencing this (precise distribution
     and release date, and the mode in which SELinux is running)
  2. the part in config.log around
       "checking for library containing setfilecon"
