Please note that this bug report is filed by a new LFS user. In LFS, an
entire Linux system is built from source code in a chroot. Our logs
only show a single failure, link mismatch, which appears to be fixed by
the patch below.
We build tar as one of the last packages in the system. Only vim is
unavailable when we build tar.
Our test log is at:

Hello again.
I tried the patch, and it seems to have worked for one of the tests. The
number of test failures went down from 3 failed tests to 2 failed tests.
I am still expecting 1, although the shrinking of failed tests is good!
Have another log
Keep in mind that this was done on an LFS chroot environment (Since the
system doesn't even work) that was built by someone who didn't even know
what a patch really was until they were told to apply one to an
archiving program. It could also be a shoddy toolchain, as a result.

Thanks a lot. The testsuite did not expect absolute file names to start
with "//". I have installed the patch 2b7fc4aee[1]. Please, give it a
try.
