I think I've solved this problem. The problem isn't related to tar, but rather to the processing of ar files by some Python in ipkg-utils-native (ipkg files are ar files). ar files pad data fields so that they end on a 2-byte boundary -- the Python previously ignored this fact. Find the patch to the Gumstix OE tree here: http://xgoat.com/patches/gumstix-oe/gumstix-oe-fix-ipkg-arfile-padding.patch You should just need to clean ipkg-utils-native after applying that: bitbake ipkg-utils-native -c clean bitbake gumstix-basic-image Hope that's useful!
