Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
oss4 could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the embedded /usr/src/oss4.tar.bz2 tarball varied its
contents based on the current user. Adding --owner=0, --group=0 and
--numeric-owner to the tar(1) call fixes this.
Patch attached.
