Bug 725806 – phase-helpers.sh calls ar (was: sys-block/storcli calls ar directly)

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 721886
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2020-05-28 07:25:55 UTC]

This is an auto-filed bug because sys-block/storcli 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.

This is a binary package. It doesn't call ar.

Looks like portage is doing something wrong(?) here?
