Subject: [gentoo-embedded] tar-1.26 not unpacking archives with symlinks?

1 Hi, I'm hitting an error when trying to unpack archives with the
2 recently unmasked tar-1.26. Basically any symlinks in the archive
3 trigger an "unknown file" error. This prevents me using emerge -k
4 amongst other things
5
6 I only see this on uclibc-0.9.33 based system, not on the build host
7 which uses glibc amd64
8
9 Can anyone else repro this and shed any light on what the problem might
10 be? Problem in tar or uclibc?

12 Thanks
