I have seen this too and it only happens when the symlink is extracted
before the file it points to.

To reproduce:
  touch myfile
  ln -s myfile mylink
  tar -cf testcase1.tar mylink myfile

If the file comes first (tar -cf testcase2.tar myfile mylink) it will work.

The eopen("../testcase.tar", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
read(3, "mylink\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"...,

rror message from tar:

It's the fchmodat() that fails which makes me wonder why it works on GNU libc.
