[dpdk-users] 'install' rule does not work with FreeBSD tar

Hi folks,

I'm attempting to install DPDK 16.07 on FreeBSD 10.2.  The build works
correctly up to the point of the actual install step, which fails
because bsdtar does not support the --warning=no-ignore-newer option:

  ================== Installing ./
  tar: Option --warning=no-ignore-newer is not supported

This particular tar reports its version as:

  bsdtar 3.1.2 - libarchive 3.1.2

Removing the --warning=no-ignore-newer option from the two places it is
used in mk/rte.sdkinstall.mk allows the installation to complete
successfully.

It appears that the same problem occurs on FreeBSD on previous DPDK
releases as well, since at least DPDK 2.2.

I'm not sure what the option is for (or why 'tar' is being used as part
of the installation); maybe there is some other, more portable option
that could replace it.

Thanks,
-- Daniel Verkamp
