[Bug-tar] ../../tar-1.19/lib/strerror.c:32: error: 'CHAR_BIT' undeclared (first use in this function)

[Gary E. Barnes]

On both

checking build system type... hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00
checking host system type... hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00

and on

checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.6
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.6

The build stops with,

../../tar-1.19/lib/strerror.c: In function 'rpl_strerror':
../../tar-1.19/lib/strerror.c:32: error: 'CHAR_BIT' undeclared (first use in 
this function)
../../tar-1.19/lib/strerror.c:32: error: (Each undeclared identifier is 
reported only once
../../tar-1.19/lib/strerror.c:32: error: for each function it appears in.)

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

The workaround is to add -DCHAR_BIT=8 to the CPPFLAGS in lib/Makefile.
