Bug 753776 – net-vpn/tor-0.4.5.1_alpha calls ar directly

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Issue: net-vpn/tor-0.4.5.1_alpha calls ar directly.
Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: ci)

NOTE:
As per QA policy, toolchain tools must not be called directly because they can cause issue in cross-compiling and because is not possible use a different AR implementation (like llvm-ar). To reproduce, please use sys-devel/gcc-config[-native-symlinks], sys-devel/binutils-config[-native-symlinks] and set the AR variable to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar.

Possible context of error(s):

./scripts/build/combine_libs: line 28: ar: command not found

Changes in version 0.4.5.8 - 2021-05-10
  Tor 0.4.5.8 fixes several bugs in earlier version, backporting fixes
  from the 0.4.6.x series.

[...]

  o Minor bugfixes (build, cross-compilation, backport from 0.4.6.3-rc):
    - Allow a custom "ar" for cross-compilation. Our previous build
      script had used the $AR environment variable in most places, but
      it missed one. Fixes bug 40369; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
