Currently, cargo-binstall cannot be used for cargo-udeps on macOS due to alexcrichton/tar-rs#295.

So if I understand this correctly, there is a GNU custom extension to the tar file format that the tar crate can't read, right? So I suppose GNU tar creates tar files using that extension? So why make Mac OS use it? Wouldn't that be the opposite of what we need?

Sorry for late response.

To come to the point, this PR is no longer needed. The problem of cargo-binstall is already resolved because they forked tar-rs and fixed it. I don't fully understand, but it seems to be actually a bug of tar-rs.
