I'm building GNU tar on Tru64.
> uname -srm
OSF1 V5.1 alpha

The operator -ot causes errors.

Can you state this stuff more portability?

I'm doing this, which I realize is the wrong file, at least, and maybe not 
ideal otherwise,
otherwise you would not be using -ot:


> diff  Makefile.in.orig Makefile.in
2896c2896
<       @{ test -f $(srcdir)/parse-datetime.c && test ! 
$(srcdir)/parse-datetime.c -ot $(srcdir)/parse-datetime.y; } || $(MAKE) 
generate-parse-datetime
---
>       $(MAKE) generate-parse-datetime
2898c2898
<       @{ test -f $(srcdir)/parse-datetime-gen.h && test ! 
$(srcdir)/parse-datetime-gen.h -ot $(srcdir)/parse-datetime.c; } || $(MAKE) 
generate-parse-datetime
---
>       $(MAKE) generate-parse-datetime

Sure, eventually I'll have GNU make, bash, etc., and I should cross build, but 
I am starting with tar, natively.

Thank you,
