First off, sorry about the delay in responding[1].

It does not work, no. The current Makefile only contains the change that adds
GNU tar as a dependency. The part of the patch to make asdf-install
actually *use* 'gtar' rather than 'tar' is also required in order for it to
work (the SUBST:s in previous submissions).

[1] For some reason GNATS is not cc:ing me on changed made to PR:s where I
    am the originator. Is there a way for me to request that GNATS
    automatically CC me?
