THRIFT-4874: Thrift 0.12.0 Source Distribution (.tar.gz) Contains Hardlinks - Extract Fails

Client: Build system
Patch: Jens Geyer

This closes #1894

The patch contains a modified version of tar.m4. The --hard-dereference option prevents from a situation, where symlinks (used in the compiler/src subtree) get converted into hard links.
