[GRASS5] Again Solaris/tar/Makefile problem

[Andreas Lange]

Hi Markus, Hi all,

the Solaris tar is flawed in some ways. Although it is not a general
solution i use the GNU tar command on Solaris x86. I remember that with
Solaris 7 one had to install GNU tar to use the GNU tools. Note that the
GNU tar program has to be first in the path or the Solaris tar is used
instead.

HTH,

Andreas
