Probably. Or something more clever, use a special case for symlinks only

I suggest the following to properly patch tar for MiNT:

src/extract.c, function maybe_recoverable().

Put at the top something like:

if (e == EEXIST && !regular && file_name is a root symlink)
    return RECOVER_SKIP;

Then everything will work as expected, without any special option.
