I had similar problems on NetBSD-2.0_RC4 when I was compiling tla-1.3-rcXX from 
sources.  I managed to get it working when I compiled it like this:

			  GNU Arch on NetBSD
			  ==================

* Install GNU stuff:

   - GNU patch 2.5.4
   - GNU tar 1.12
   - make `tlatar' a symlink to `GNU tar 1.12'

* Install official GZIP

    - gzip 1.2.4
    - make sure that gzip-1.2.4 is the first zip in your path.

* Configure Arch:

    $ ../configure --with-gnu-patch=gpatch --with-gnu-tar=tlatar
    $ make
    $ make test

I also tried other GNU tar versions but 1.12 was the only one that worked for 
me.  I am not sure what's the problem but NetBSD has its own gzip version, 
maybe that's not 100% compatible with www.gzip.org version...
