Compile problems with ENOSYS, buffer.c (tar_1.13 on NeXT 3.3)

[Mark Tapley]

To whom it may concern:
        I'm having problems installing Gnu tar on my NeXT. If you guys aren't  
the proper ones to inform, please let me know who is.

Using: tar_1.13, downloaded from unc archive. (is this the latest?)
Running on: NeXT m68k (040 cube, 25 MHz) under NeXTStep 3.3 with Y2K patches

Problem: "make" fails, saying:

...
cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I. -I../intl    -g -O2 -c strtoull.c
cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I. -I../intl    -g -O2 -c fnmatch.c
cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I. -I../intl    -g -O2 -c lchown.c
lchown.c: In function `lchown':
lchown.c:44: `ENOMSG' undeclared (first use this function)
lchown.c:44: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
lchown.c:44: for each function it appears in.)
*** Exit 1
Stop.
*** Exit 1
Stop.
*** Exit 1
Stop.

Searching for "enomsg" in the NeXT Developer Bookshelf points to file  
bsd/sys/errno.h, where I find the following code:

#ifdef _POSIX_SOURCE
        #define ENOSYS          87      /* Function not implemented. */
#endif  /* _POSIX_SOURCE */

I tried
make clean
make distclean
setenv POSIXLY_CORRECT
./configure
make

with the same results.
I went back to the tar directory, and edited /lib/lchown.h to include

#define ENOSYS 87

as its first line (had to change permissions)
and then did

make

and the compile continued from the point where it had left off.
        
I don't suppose this is the recommended fix.

Then later on, I hit this compile bug:

...

at which point I gave up. Hope this is slightly helpful, email if you want me  
to try anything else or if you want an account on the NeXT to play with it.
