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)" From the build log: checking for ar... /usr/bin/ar
(In reply to comment #0) > > From the build log: > > checking for ar... /usr/bin/ar That seems to be a false positive. 'comnfigure' checks for ar but it gets never used during the build process. I will look into it anyway...

I though it find /usr/bin/ar and uses x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar. So probably it is invalid but is a good idea remove unuseful check from the configure and send it upstream

What I wanted to say was: "/usr/bin/ar is never used during the build process!" Additionally, all Makefiles contain a definition of AR (due to autotools), but AR is nowhere referenced.(In reply to comment #3) > (In reply to comment #2) > > (In reply to comment #1) > > > (In reply to comment #0) > > > > > > > > From the build log: > > > > > > > > checking for ar... /usr/bin/ar > > > > > > That seems to be a false positive. > > > > No, it finds A and uses B > > My bad.

It uses no version of ar at all. It only checks for it. I will try to drop the test completely and talk with upstream.

Close stale bug.
