Bug 724256 – dev-util/cgdb calls ar directly

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2020-05-20 07:56:21 UTC]

This is an auto-filed bug because dev-util/cgdb calls ar directly.
The issue was originally discovered on amd64, 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 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar and by removing the /usr/bin/ar binary.

    dev-util/cgdb: respect AR, use eautoreconf for building
    
    Eautoreconf ensures safe handling of the build scripts, so let's use
    that while setting AT_M4DIR to search for m4 files in the appropriate
    directory.
