When running that script I get unexpected errors: $ bash poky-eglibc-x86_64-i586-toolchain-1.0.sh Enter target directory for SDK (default: /opt/poky/1.3): /tmp/jkjk/c You are about to install the SDK to "/tmp/jkjk/c".

After pulling in a more modern version of GNU tar (1.26), I no longer get the error. It might be worth doing some sanity checking on the tar version in the script and generating an error before attempting the extraction, or skipping the --strip-components option all together and move the contents after the extraction. If you need any additional information, please let me know.
