This posting: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-02/msg01861.html It may certainly be the case that some patched version of tar on RHEL works fine (one would indeed hope and expect that distributors are adding value in precisely such ways!) but it's better to be safe than sorry, and I didn't have the resources to verify exactly which versions might or might not work. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
