I can only guess that you got an old binary. The one in
v2gnu/tar112b.zip on SimTel.NET supports long file names, and I'm
using it on Windows 95 for several months now (it was released in
November 1997).

You are jumping to conclusions too quickly. First, I think you
shouldn't need to rebuild Tar from sources, since the pre-compiled
binary already supports LFN. And second, should you need to rebuild,
read the file README.dos in the tar112s.zip archive which includes
detailed instructions about rebuilding Tar with DJGPP tools.
