Can you elaborate on this? What is the problem you're seeing exactly,
and how did you 'disable /usr/bin/xz' ?
When buildroot cannot find a working xzcat version, it builds one
itself through host-xz. This should still work in case of parallel
builds.
The same principle applies when the 'tar' version on host is
non-existing or too old.

Thanks,
Thomas
