GNU's been threatening to make POSIX the default for over a decade now,
it's just that some openSUSE maintainer sprung into action a bit
prematurely on that issue. The PAX extended headers are not needed by
setup whatever their content may be AFAIK, but it would be nice if they
didn't produce spuroius warnings or errors.
