Unpacking XZ-compressed archives (like host_llvm_17.0.5_x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.xz) with GNU tar requires either using the -J flag or none at all (rather than the -z flag, which seems to be reserved for gzip). On macOS, -xzf behaves like -xf, which is likely why this issue didn't come up there.
With -xf both macOS and GNU tar automatically recognize the right format.
