GNU tar version 1.12 (or later) Necessary (only on some platforms) to untar the source code. Many systems' tar programs will also work, only try GNU tar if you have problems. And it is really a POSIX tar issue but GNU tar works around the issue. Just use GNU tar. -- pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25834
