As the generic stdenv is used also for the non-pure stdenvs, I think
you cannot be sure that the GNU tar that will be called. This may not
work specially in stdenvNative or stdenvNix. And it may also not work
with the pure stdenvLinux, if the bootstrap files have an old enough
precompiled tar.

Maybe someone knows that better...
