>Description:
	Pax, when invoked as tar, supports the -C option for GNU tar
	compatibility.  However, it does not work like the option to
	GNU tar.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Attempt to build and install pkgsrc/font/watanabe-vfont with
	using a tar that is a hardlink/symlink to /bin/pax.

>Fix:
	Not provided.
