	gnu-tar definitely seems to be required.  After applying your patches 
in my tree, the build was successful with the following configure 
commandline:

        ../configure
                --with-cc `which gcc`
                --with-gnu-diff /usr/local/bin/diff
                --with-gnu-diff3 /usr/local/bin/diff3
                --with-gnu-tar /usr/local/bin/tar
                --with-gnu-patch /usr/local/bin/patch
                --config-shell `which bash`
                --with-posix-shell `which bash`

	Solaris 8 seems to come with bash.  It turns out the bourne shell was 
a big part of the build problem I had been having.

        Thanks.
