I think this does not currrently work... as the gtar-base Makefile has:

.if defined(GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX) && ${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX} != ""
GTAR_PROGRAM_PREFIX?=   ${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}
.else
GTAR_PROGRAM_PREFIX?=   g
.endif

Or did you mean you set GTAR_PROGRAM_PREFIX to null in which case the
above would not have any effect.
