Didn't you build amanda there? What makes it not easy?

When I was playing with wrappers for ufsdump, I rebuilt amanda several
times as I changed my understanding of how I was dealing with ufsdump
and the wrapper. If you haven't kept notes on the configure, it should
be in config.log. So, install your gnutar-1.15.1 from sunfreeware (and
the dependencies, libiconv, etc.), and then build amanda again, adding
"--with-gnutar=...". Shouldn't hurt a thing, since in virtually all
instances it will be just repeating itself and putting an identical
binary in place of the original build.
