Why is gtar needed? (can in be limited to ruby26-base?)

At least ruby24-base and ruby25-base seems to extract fine without
gtar on NetBSD-current(ish), while for ruby26-base - by commenting out
`EXTRACT_USING= gtar' - in ruby/Makefile.common I have:

 | ===> Extracting for ruby26-base-2.6.1
 | tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
 | tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file

(I have not yet investigated what can be the problem though.)

Adding `EXTRACT_USING= bsdtar' (AFAIK if bsdtar can be used it is
preferred over gtar) just in ruby26-base seems to do the trick and
it seems extracted fine.

Can that change be limited to ruby26-base and - if not - can `bsdtar'
preferred over `gtar'?


Thank you!
