m2005 untar error on msys2 (tar01 directory)

[Joel Sherrill]

Hi

Windows (msys2) is completely dead in the water for m2005 due to a symlink
added to the RTEMS source

$ tar Jxf rtems-5.0.0-m2005-1.tar.xz
tar: rtems-5.0.0-m2005-1/testsuites/libtests/tar01/symlink: Cannot create
symlink to ‘home/test_file’: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

The rtems tar file has this in it:

-rw-r--r-- chris/1010     1228 2020-05-01 03:03

We recently battled this with newlib and that solution won't work here.
