[Buildroot] [PATCH 5 of 5] toolchain-external: use host-tar instead of tar to unpack toolchains

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

Some toolchains, like the one built with buildroot itself, use hardlinks (for
example to link between the c++ and g++ binary). Unpacking such a toolchain
with the --strip-components options does not work correctly if the system tar
is too old (<1.17). Even recent releases of RedHat/CentOS still ship with
tar 1.15.
To avoid such problems, always use host-tar instead of tar to unpack
toolchains.
