Question regarding workaround for gnutar 1.20 on 10.5 (and related question about gcc)

[Tabitha McNerney]

Rainer,

Thank you for your detailed response. I will revert to gcc42 per your
suggestion and I should have just changed the compiler information in the
gnutar Portfile (I wasn't previously sure how to do that so thank you for
your example)!

Thanks,

T.M.
