Could you submit an automake bug report?

As I recall, way back around when automake first started, we added -o
here because GNU tar would make archives which couldn't be read by any
other form of "tar".  Perhaps now we need `tar --posix' or something
along those lines, perhaps depending on configury.

Nope.
