As the first person (I think) who encountered this problem, I can verify
that Eric has shortened the paths enough for the build to be successful.
(Thanks!)

In case anyone was curious, it turns out that, while ustar format
lengthens the "name" field of the header from 100 bytes to 255 bytes, it
doesn't do anything for the "link_name" field, which remains at the
traditional tar's 100 bytes. When you tell tar "-h" to follow symlinks
and dump the file they point to rather than just recording the link, the
way that tar does this is to resolve the link, then do a lookup in the
list of files that have already been dumped into the tarfile; if a match
is found, the full name (as recorded the first time it was dumped) of
the originally dumped file is written to the "link_name" field rather
than storing another entire copy of the file into the tarfile. So,
"name" contains the full name of the symlink, and "link_name" contains
the full name of the original file. The result is that the full path of
the file pointed to by the symlink cannot be > 100 characters.

(Even in the case that the original symlink was a very short relative
link, that could resolve to a very long pathname. This explains why
there was no failure when "-h" wasn't specified - in that case
"link_name" of the failures cases was a "very short relative link", so
it was successful.)
