Some systems, like RedHat/CentOS, are even today shipped with ancient versions
of GNU tar, like 1.15. This can cause trouble, for example when unpacking
archives containing hardlinks with the --strip-components option.
To avoid such problems, let buildroot create a host-tar that can be used when
unpacking.
