P.S. I masked this version and previous package works fine.

[Comment 6 Jonas Stein 2015-08-12 19:43:08 UTC]

I can not reproduce this bug on my system.

[Comment 7 Alex Orange 2015-08-12 21:08:04 UTC]

Ok, thank you Jonas Stein. Turns out my tar was broken. Upon further investigation, tar does seem to work with -O3. Should I file a separate bug for that or rename this one or what?

[Comment 8 Tanktalus 2016-01-03 16:10:19 UTC]

# tar tvjf /usr/portage/distfiles/ghostscript-gpl-9.12-patchset-1.tar.bz2 
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I'm getting the same problem, and I'm not sure how to fix this. (Using stable tar: 1.27-r2)

[Comment 9 Tanktalus 2016-01-03 16:20:13 UTC]

Upgrading tar to 1.28-r1 seems to solve the problem.  Perhaps tar 1.28-r1 should be stabilised instead?

[Comment 10 Alex Orange 2016-01-05 08:20:47 UTC]

Oops, just realized that I screwed up what I wrote. Meant to put that tar DOESN'T work with -O3. I would be hesitant to say 1.28-r1 necessarily "fixes" the problem unless there's something in their patch notes about it. It's an optimization problem so it could very well be that it's magically fixed for certain arches and not others. TL;DR: unless upstream claims they fixed an optimization related bug I think tar should force -O2 instead of -O3.

[Comment 11 Eugene Volchek 2016-01-28 09:28:14 UTC]

I have the same issue with the following flags:
CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -ftree-vectorize -fno-stack-protector"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Rebuilding tar without the -ftree-vectorize flag fixes the problem.

1.29-r1 is stable now, so this should be fixed.
