So don't add the "J" option to the tar command line and it will work just fine.
OK, thanks -- that indeed did work, although I don't quite understand why.
Because as stated above in:
# file linux-source-4.1.tar.xz linux-source-4.1.tar.xz: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
it's a plain tar file and not further compressed, so the file extension is misleading.
(I don't know why that's actually the case, I'll try to keep an eye on it for our next kernel build.)
