I just emerged dev-util/bloaty-0_p20170321 and it worked just fine.

Could you run some of the sed command below to narrow down which substitution is failing?

[Comment 2 darkdimius 2017-06-06 18:29:04 UTC]

@David Hallas.
It fails because I have AR set to `/usr/bin/gcc-ar` in make.conf.
This sed line assumes that there are no slashes in AR location.

[Comment 3 David Hallas 2017-06-06 19:15:32 UTC]

So, simply changing the -e "s/	ar /	$(tc-getAR) /" expression to -e "s#	ar #	$(tc-getAR) #" should fix the problem?

[Comment 4 Michał Górny 2017-06-06 21:07:21 UTC]

Or just putting '$(AR)' make variable, and passing AR to make instead of sweeping issues under the carpet just to force bad ideas. Also, using patches instead of unreliable sed expressions.
