   Yes; it fixes the problem (gtar is automatically built is a build
dependency).

   Also, while I'm at it, after the upgrade to Mavericks I got an error
which stated that a functional dlopen() was required when I tried to
build a few packages. "man dlopen" revealed that, indeed, I had no
dlopen, which was kind of surprising to me considering that I was
certain I had used it before.

   Turns out one needs to download and install the Xcode command line
tools for Mavericks (I thought the one I installed for Mountain Lion
would still be there, but I guess the fact that the OS version is in the
file name should have been a hint..). Anyway, I mention it for the
archives in case someone searches for the error.
