The answer is:  not easily, but the warning is harmless.  The 
message "user1 is not found, using root" is coming from an 
un-tar subprocess, and is warning that it does not see a 
userid matching the one it was created under, on the local 
build system.

As mentioned, the warning is harmless.  Just ignore it.
