tar-1.25 builds now on both gcc2 and gcc4. Trick was to use more current parts from gnulib. There's been a few changes upstream in gnulib that might help a few other ports as well.

I have a patch waiting, but is it really something we want to invest time in? The current optional package is built with gcc4.
P.S. I've noticed this problem cropping up in other GNU tools too. Seems the gnulib portability library isn't so portable.
