I'm using tar 1.21 on haiku and it's working as expected (No such file or directory).

I'm using a hybrid build, maybe it's specific to that.

​http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/bin/tar/config.h#L971

change to:

/* #undef STRERROR_R_CHAR_P */

strerror_r() returns "int" instead of "char *" in Haiku.
