Hi,

You run "sh t5000*" in t/, right? Usually, TAR is set in t/Makefile (that 
is why it Just Works in the normal case). Note that you can -- instead of 
your patch -- run "TAR=tar sh t5000*".

Ciao,

Oh, I see... I did "make -C t" to avoid recompilation tests (this is
unbearably slow on the system Not To Be Named). Maybe put such
variables in the separate makefile and include it?

Yes, but "cd t && sh ./t5000-*.sh" should work by itself.
