Description

configure: error: in `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_archivers_gnutar/gnutar/work/tar-1.35':
configure: error: could not enable timestamps after mid-January 2038.
This package recommends support for these later
timestamps. However, to proceed with signed 32-bit
time_t even though it will fail then, configure with
'--disable-year2038'.
See `config.log' for more details

The Haiku project includes the --disable-year2038 flag for 32-bit systems. It should be enabled as in gzip, since it also fixes the +universal builds.
