I think that thread was on -packagers rather than any public list.
For the record: Dave Page reported that the initial wrap of 8.4.0
failed to build on OS X 10.4. Investigation disclosed that its
version of tar was misinterpreting the "o" switch, and that this
wasn't Apple's fault but rather a bug common to all GNU tar 1.14.x
versions (up to x=91 IIRC). Given the lack of prior complaints
and the likelihood that 1.14.x is still in use elsewhere,
we decided to revert to the old coding for 8.4.
regards, tom lane
