Kernel build from the source linux-3.10.25-gentoo is now impossible. The error message is the following: --- GEN usr/initramfs_data.cpio AS usr/initramfs_data.o LD usr/built-in.o LD arch/x86/crypto/built-in.o ar: invalid option -- 's' BusyBox v1.21.0 (2014-03-23 17:22:44 JST) multi-call binary. Usage: ar [-o] [-v] [-p] [-t] [-x] ARCHIVE FILES Extract or list FILES from an ar archive -o Preserve original dates -p Extract to stdout -t List -x Extract -v Verbose make[2]: *** [arch/x86/crypto/built-in.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/x86/crypto] Error 2 make: *** [arch/x86] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-3.10.25-gentoo' ---- I've found a related discussion in the gentoo forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-922670-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html In the discussion, it is said that: "There is no sane reason that I can see for including ar in our busybox package, so I have filed bug #501092 for the Gentoo busybox maintainers requesting that they remove ar from our busybox package." So I took a look in bug #501092. However, some related people have been debating but there is no conclusion yet. The problem of busybox doesn't seem to have been resolved. I think Gentoo users with ordinal skill (including me) cannot build a kernel from any gentoo-sources now. Would you resolve the debating and the problem of busybox? Regards,
