I figured I'd gather some more evidence by putting back the
3072 MiByte limit and diff'ing/cmp'ing the above files and
then making another duplicate and diff'ing it.

# diff /usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.tar =
/usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.alt_tar=20
Binary files /usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.tar and =
/usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.alt_tar differ
# cmp -l /usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.tar =
/usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.alt_tar | head -30
2633269249   3   0
2633269251   3   0
2633269252  55   0
2633269253   6   0
2633269254  21   0
2633269255 227   0
2633269256   1   0
2633269257 135   0
2633269258 336   0
2633269259  22 140
2633269260   0 100
2633269261 346   0
2633269262 353   0
2633269265 227   0
2633269266   1 160
2633269267 170 140
2633269268 336 100
2633269269  22   0
2633269271 362   0
2633269272 353   0
2633269275 227   0
2633269276   1   0
2633269277 225   0
2633269278 336   0
2633269279  22   0
2633269281 376   0
2633269282 353   1

2633269289   0 223
2633269290   0 321

So the copy made without the 3072 MiByte limit appears to be
corrupt as written: it looks like the error is not just at
diff/cmp time.

Making and testing a .alt2_tar copy:

# cp -aRx /usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.tar =
/usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.alt2_tar
# cp -aRx /usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.tar =
/usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.alt2_tar
# diff /usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.tar =
/usr/obj/clang-armv7-on-aarch64.alt2_tar=20
#=20

So, with the 3072 MiByte limit: no evidence of a problem with =
duplicating
the huge file and diff'ing the result.
