gettext 0.18.1: tar: Option --owner=root is not supported

While building gettext 0.18.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.3 (working on updating MacPorts 
gettext to this version), I see this warning:

[snip]
[master ffb11a9] Import gettext-0.16
[master f6303d4] Import gettext-0.16.1
[master 2999543] Import gettext-0.17
[master c105670] Import gettext-0.18
[master 737d59b] Import gettext-0.18.1
tar: Option --owner=root is not supported
Usage:
  List:    tar -tf <archive-filename>
  Extract: tar -xf <archive-filename>
  Create:  tar -cf <archive-filename> [filenames...]
  Help:    tar --help
Making all in man
[snip]

The build continues on after that. Mac OS X's BSD tar doesn't seem to have the 
--owner flag. I wasn't sure if this is a problem for gettext.

Actually, for MacPorts, we might not always be running as root, so I might just 
remove "--owner=root --group=root" from the tar commands. Do you think that 
would be a problem?

Thanks,
-Ryan
