I think the problems happen because we do do `autoreconf -v` for the
GNU tar package in Fedora (we have several patches applied on top of the
upstream tarball).  Some distributions (not Fedora) do this by default
per their policies, so I would eventually view this as a (low-priority?)
tarball issue.
