I'm an OpenWRT user - which builds just about everything as cross tools - lots
of systems don't do AR and RANLIB paths correctly .... and it's not really
been a problem until recently ....
I'm also an Ubuntu user and until I synced to their latest release OpenWRT
builds worked great .... now a bunch of stuff fails .... the underlying
problem seems to be that now by default ar run on an Intel platform adds a
SYM64 header to archives even if they only contain 32-bit objects (in my case
ARM ones) - the older cross tools just throw their hands up and barf
I wonder if a stopgap solution might be to accept that AR is broken in the
build environments and make ar smarter about what it generates, only adding
that header if 64-bit objects are there
