The argp_fmtstream_* functions are defined in gtar via some ugly preprocessor logic which defines them as extern and/or inline, so this might be related to recent base system commits involving gcc and how inline functions are compiled. I managed to get gtar to compile by hacking the source up to define these functions in a new C file and then linking it in, but this is definitely not the right solution. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
