* doc/tar.texi (posix compliance): Remove. The whole section
was a misunderstanding of what POSIXLY_CORRECT is supposed to
mean. The GNU Coding Standards says that POSIXLY_CORRECT
is for disabling extensions that are incompatible with POSIX:
it is not for disabling compatible extensions. All references
to this section removed.
(posix): This format is created only if the posix format is
specified; it is no longer created if gnu format is specified
and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
* src/tar.c (decode_options): Ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT.
POSIX does not specify the behavior of tar, so we should
not worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT here.

We make some of our recommendations throughout this book for one
reason in addition to what we think of as ``good sense''. The main
additional reason for a recommendation is to be compliant with the
@sc{posix} standards. If you set the shell environment variable
@env{POSIXLY_CORRECT}, @GNUTAR{} will force you to
adhere to these standards. Therefore, if this variable is set and you
violate one of the @sc{posix} standards in the way you phrase a
command, for example, @GNUTAR{} will not allow the
command and will signal an error message. You would then have to
reorder the options or rephrase the command to comply with the
@sc{posix} standards.
Notice also, that if this environment variable is set, @GNUTAR{}
will create @acronym{POSIX} archives. Currently this means that
no @acronym{GNU} extensions will be allowed (@pxref{posix}).
