Tar uses Automake, which attempts to detect whether your 'make' doesn't support nested variables. Evidently this stuff isn't working for you.

Rather than debug this for tar 1.23, can you please try tar 1.28? I vaguely recall that more-recent tar implementations have some fixes in this area, and would rather not waste time debugging already-fixed bugs.
