Is this with a clean build? E.G. tar needs wchar, so if you didn't have
that enabled in the toolchain configuration you will need to rebuild the
toolchain.

It works for me with current git with this defconfig:

cat defconfig
BR2_arm=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_WCHAR=y
BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS=y
BR2_PACKAGE_TAR=y


What is your configuration exactly? (E.G. run make savedefconfig and
post your defconfig file).
