[cairo] Cannot unpack cairo-0.6.0 with gtar

I tried to unpack the cairo snapshot cairo-0.6.0, using gtar 1.12 on a
Solaris 9 host, to see if I could build it and then build GTK+2.7.5.
Eight files could not be unpacked - got a "Could not create file:
Permission denied" error.  Looking at the table of contents of the tar
file, I discovered that all of files that gtar couldn't create were
setgid but without execute bit turned on.  I'm not running as root
when I try to unpack this.  Any suggestions?  I was able to download
cairo and libpixman via CVS.

% gtar tzvf ~/gtk27/GtkPackages/cairo-0.6.0.tar.gz | fgrep 'r-S'
