Both 1.1.5 and 1.5.10 behave the same way here, except that 1.1.5 also prints
what the test does, prefixed with +.

I have the same problem: t.tar test fails on amd64.

I just tried the recently released fakeroot-1.7 and it fixes the test case by
adding more wrapped syscalls that are required for correct working of tar.

So for at least amd64 a newer ebuild is required for correct functionality.
Maybe the older released should be moved to ~amd64 or just have no amd64 at all
in the KEYWORDS.

thanks for the tip ... 1.7 now in portage
