I would *really* like BSD ar to be used to build world regardless of host system version, at least on the tinderbox. Isn't it possible to use GNU ar just for the toolchain, then BSD ar for the "real" world? Doesn't adding ar to bootstrap-tools take care of that? Note that the tinderbox *always* cross-builds, even when building for the platform it runs on. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
