I think this command got copy and pasted into a few parts of the system
so we'll need to hunt them all down and fix them. In classes alone:

$ grep \\-ps * -R
libc-package.bbclass:	tar -cf - -C ${LOCALETREESRC}${datadir} -ps i18n | tar -xf - -C $treedir/${datadir}
libc-package.bbclass:	tar -cf - -C ${LOCALETREESRC}${base_libdir} -ps . | tar -xf - -C $treedir/${base_libdir}
libc-package.bbclass:		tar -cf - -C ${STAGING_DIR_NATIVE}/${prefix_native}/${base_libdir} -ps libgcc_s.* | tar -xf - -C $treedir/${base_libdir}
libc-package.bbclass:	tar -cf - -C $treedir/$parent -ps $(basename ${localedir}) | tar -xf - -C ${PKGD}$parent
package.bbclass:    cmd = 'tar -cf - -C %s -ps . | tar -xf - -C %s' % (dest, dvar)
populate_sdk_deb.bbclass:	tar -cf - -C ${STAGING_ETCDIR_NATIVE} -ps apt | tar -xf - -C ${target_rootfs}/etc
staging.bbclass:		tar -cf - -C "$src" -ps . | tar -xf - -C "$dest"

Cheers,
