Comment (by xeron.oskom@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 cal@…]:
 > Mavericks doesn't come with gnutar, so where does the gnutar apparently
 referenced in `$portutil::autoconf::tar_path` come from? What does
 `variable tar_path` contain in
 `/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0/macports_autoconf.tcl`?

 I've installed gnutar from macports and temporary replaced OSX's bsdtar
 with gnutar to play with some software which requires it. After that I
 just forgot to return an original one.

 I understand such configuration is not supported, but fix should be simple
 since gnutar works as well as bsdtar, just prints some warnings.
