Description
Trying to build tar earlier in chap5, I had this message during tests
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/gesp/ipcop/2.svn/build_i486/ipcop/usr/src/tar-1.25/tests'
/bin/bash /home/gesp/ipcop/2.svn/build_i486/ipcop/usr/src/tar-1.25/build-aux/missing --run autom4te --language=autotest -I . testsuite.at -o testsuite.tmp

Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

That does not matter for the subjet of this ticket, as autoconf is build only on chap6.
To explain the reason of building tar earlier, that it is easier to use .xz packages with xz and tar build earlier without requiring a recent tar version on host.
