It would be helpful if you confimed what the linkages for gtar looked like
with...
otool -L /usr/local/Cellar/gnu-tar/1.29/bin/gtar
and double check that you don't have any headers or libs for libiconv, gettext,
and libintl
accidentally installed in /usr/local (to make sure you aren't ending up with
mismatched headers
and libs during the tar build).
Jack
ps I suspect you will also find that passing --disable-nls to configure during
the tar build will
also suppress your problem. Also, I suspect that building tar against libiconv
without gettext
is poorly tested on OS X. Both fink and Macports build their tar packages with
their gettext and
libiconv packages installed. Homebrew seems to be an outlier (and oddly
non-deterministic) as
it doesn't bother to depend on either.
