[Toybox] Module-Build-0.4224.tar

Got a weird tar which confuses toybox. Comparing to the one toybox makes
from same files, notice the missing slash in directory, spaces in size where
nulls usually are, and lettered username beside uid. Has this any relation
to the matter of policy thing mentioned in tar.c? BLFS of last year says the
archive is "known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.3 platform."
