tar-1.13.25

[H . Merijn Brand]

For HP-UX-11.00, HP-UX-10.20, AIX-4.3.3 and AIX-4.2.1 I configured tar-1.13.25
with

        # configure --prefix=/pro --disable-nls

(Enabling nls is no option for me)

For HP-UX 11.00, HP-UX 10.20, and AIX-4.3.3 all using the native C compiler I
needed

After that 11.00 passes all tests (installed), but 10.20 gives

AIX-4.2.1 complains

And AIX-4.3.3 alike:

After having changed the makefile to include -liconv - which I do *NOT* want,
I *did* specify --disable-nls -, the make succeeds, but the tests give
