--- Comment #4 from Dennis Clarke <dclarke at blastwave dot org> ---
Off the shelf old /usr/bin/tar in Solaris 10 can not extract released
gcc-8.1.0.tar files as it issues : 



tar: ././@LongLink: typeflag 'L' not recognized, converting to regular file


Feels like an old 'non-bug' has awoken .. however gnu tar has no issues
and neither does Jörg Schilling's POSIX tar. ( called star for standard
tar ).

Merely an update here ... nothing to see .. moving along.
