Bug 720700 – dev-util/radare2-4.4.0 calls ar directly: ar q libr_z.a adler32.o ...; make[2]: ar: No such file or director

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2020-05-02 19:05:11 UTC]

This is an auto-filled bug because dev-util/radare2 calls ar directly.
The issue was originally discovered on arm64, but it may be reproducible on other arches as well.
If you think that a different summary clarifies the issue better, feel free to change it.
Attached build log and emerge --info.

NOTE:
If you think it doesn't make sense fix these type of issues, I'd like to point out that won't be possible use a different AR implementation (like llvm-ar) by setting the AR variable. So this issue has been reproduced by setting the AR variable to aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-ar and by removing the /usr/bin/ar binary.

This will require a bit of work upstream to propagate all tools overrides.
