I really think you have a broken compiler install....

I think this is failing because a different try-run is failing:


CHECK_TYPE_SIZE("ssize_t" SIZEOF_SSIZE_T)


If you look at the CMakeError.log for CMake I am guessing it is the same 
manifest issue.   You can also look in your build tree at the config.h 
file for libtar.  You can also try using --debug-trycompile and loading 
up the tryrun project by hand and seeing if you can figure out what is 
wrong.  Does this compiler install work for non-cmake builds?
