CHAR_BIT is usually provided by <limits.h> on a POSIX system. But it
could be defined to 8 as a fallback definition for AIX. I've applied
such a workaround to the "tar" package now. Please retry, perhaps this
already fixes the issue for you. But it could be that it still fails as
the lib/system.h header (into which I hacked in the workaround) might be
not included in all places where CHAR_BIT is used in the Tar sources...
