Apparently the above reports all show a Haswell-type CPU. I have the same issue with tar and kbd here on a Haswell-based Xeon (E3-1231v3). Furthermore I have the same CFLAGS (-O3 -march=native) set on an Ivy Bridge-based (i7-4820K) and a Sandy Bridge-based (i7-2500K) system where tar and kbd work without these problems. It looks like an issue with gcc 4.8.x on Haswells..

Reemerged world with -O2 and tar works correctly again.
(In reply to Vasco Steinmetz from comment #6) > Reemerged world with -O2 and tar works correctly again. why? just only emerge tar with -O2
Because in this case tar exhibits a directly (human) noticeable misbehavior. I cannot foresee how much more packages are probably also affected (=bad compiled), as most code in a system is seldomly run but could introduce erratically behavior at random times.
Is this still happening with newer GCCs? I'd really hope not, but if it is, please let us know.
