Can you try tar --show-defaults making special note of a. whether that works, and b. what the default is for the --format option. On my FC6 machine, the output is --format=gnu -f- -b20 --rmt-command=/sbin/rmt

So I guess autoconf for some daft reason passes flags to tar to make the resulting tar some Unix standard or something.
To be precise:
am__tar = ${AMTAR} chof - "$$tardir"
the -o does:
-o, --old-archive, --portability like --format=v7; -o exhibits this behavior when creating an ar- chive (deprecated behavior)
