Can you try with uninstalling /usr/local/bin/tar ? It seems broken by share library.

I'm getting a similar issue, but with ruby version 2.4.1. Also I do not have a /usr/local/bin/tar

looks like the same workaround for https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/992#issuecomment-247342449 works here:

xcode-select --install

xcode-select --install
works for me thx!
