Suggested fix:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-11/msg00073.html

Therefore, you should be able to work around the problem with the 1.24
and 1.25 tarballs by configuring with:

  ./configure gl_cv_func_futimesat_works=yes

which is effectively what the gnulib fix changed to happen automatically
on Solaris 10.
