Hi,

I just tried to install databases/postgresql73-lib.  It failed with

/usr/pkg/bin/gtar: Unaligned block (6459 bytes) in archive
/usr/pkg/bin/gtar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Replacing GTAR with TAR in the Makefile let the package install.

Why is GTAR used here?  If it's a cross-platform thing, can't we use our
PAX that's provided via bootstrap?

Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
