gnu tar 1.13 missing autoconf symbols

I've been using Gnu tar v1.13 on Solaris 8 with the option --backup=.orig. For
most files, the actual backup name created was 14 chars long and ended with a
'~'.

It looks like the tar autoconf files don't test or define some symbols needed
by lib/addext.c: HAVE_LONG_FILE_NAMES and HAVE_PATHCONF so the
code's assuming 14 char max filename length.
