    gnu: tar: Disable troublesome tests on the Hurd.
    
    The sparse03.at test apparently freezes the Hurd; messages
    on the console:
    
    165: listing sparse files bigger than 2^33
    
    ext2fs: device:hd0s1: warning: bit already cleared for block 245780
    ext2fs: device:hd0s1: warning: bit already cleared for block 245781
    ext2fs: device:hd0s1: warning: bit already cleared for block 245782
    ...
    ext2fs: BUG: unexpected fault on disk image ... err 0xa
    ext2fs: disk-pager.c:98: fault_handler: Assertion 'err' failed.
    
    the other tests just fail.
    
    * gnu/packages/base.scm (tar)[arguments]: When compiling for the Hurd,
    skip `sparse' and failing tests.
