FWIW (to both of you), checkperms + EXTRACT_USING is currently causing
complete build failure on SunOS:

  https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/pkgsrc/public/reports/trunk/tools/20200313.2102/meta/report.html

It's not clear to me yet what's going on, EXTRACT_USING=gtar fixes it,
but is that going to cause circular dependencies?
