Hmm, in looking at the truss output more carefully,
it appears that you're running /usr/bin/tar.
Can you please arrange for the test to run the
tar that you built instead?  You can do that by
modifying the test case, replacing the two instances
of "tar" with the full path name of the just-built
tar command.

Really? Bugger! Would have sworn I put the exported PATH statement in the test. Wait .. I did!  WTBH?

Re-running with new variable TAR set to the explicit full path to the newly compiled gnu tar .. and changing the tar invocations to $TAR.
