This is a tar file containing sources.  You don't execute it.  It is
very unlikely that it contains a virus as it was not produced on a
Windows machine.

Over in Cygwin land, we have had many reports of false positives with Mcaffe
Virus Scan and .tar.gz files.  I assume that this is one more of those.
