Never had a need to upgrade tar til now.  Thanks Robert!
I updated gnu tar to 1.19 and viola, the compile completed.  However 
there were lots of warnings, most I expect can be ignored.  But these 
stand out as maybe something to be concerned with?  There were lots of em:
System.Net.Sockets/Socket.cs(736,25): warning CS0162: Unreachable code 
detected
and
./build-csproj: gawk: command not found
I could install gawk and recompile, but is it necessary?
