Where are you trying to extract this to? The error about utime seems to indicate an unusual situation with permissions and/or filesystem.
Also, when you are posting output from the terminal on the forums, please copy and paste it into the actual message with the CODE block. Having to open an image just to see text, while we are on a text-based forum, is a bit silly.
and WHY are you trying to use "tar" on the extracted "Makefile" and the "b44.c" and "b44.h" files
"tar" is used to extract files from a tar archive
not to build source code .
