Bug 474528 – x11-wm/fvwm : does not respect AR

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2013-06-23 21:12:34 UTC]

You receive this bug because this package does not respect my system's AR (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar) and calls directly /usr/bin/ar
The possible solutions to fix this issue are:
1)Fix the buildsystem, if you can;
2)inherit toolchain-funcs and use tc-export AR
3)inherit toolchain-funcs and use emake AR="$(tc-getAR)"
