Dennis Clarke <dclarke at blastwave dot org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |dclarke at blastwave dot org --- Comment #4 from Dennis Clarke <dclarke at blastwave dot org> --- Off the shelf old /usr/bin/tar in Solaris 10 can not extract released gcc-8.1.0.tar files as it issues : tar: ././@LongLink: typeflag 'L' not recognized, converting to regular file Feels like an old 'non-bug' has awoken .. however gnu tar has no issues and neither does Jörg Schilling's POSIX tar. ( called star for standard tar ). Merely an update here ... nothing to see .. moving along.
