[Bug c/25834] New: untar of tarball produces errors on AIX 5.3

[pedz at easesoftware dot net]

The command:

bzcat ../images/gcc-4.0.2/gcc-4.0.2.tar.bz2 | tar xf -

causes these errors

tar: can't create
gcc-4.0.2/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/tr1/4_metaprogramming/primary_type_categories/is_member_function_po:
Is a directory
tar: can't create
gcc-4.0.2/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/tr1/4_metaprogramming/primary_type_categories/is_member_function_po:

tar: can't create

tar: can't create
gcc-4.0.2/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/tr1/4_metaprogramming/primary_type_categories/is_member_object_poin:
Is a directory

After the untar is finished, there is a symplic link called @LongLinks in the
directory of the untar.

I didn't see this as a frequently reported bug, etc.  I did not investigate the
problem too far.  This may be an AIX tar limitation, etc.  If you want, I can
do futher tests to help track this down.
