The same issue was observed in chromium a while back (ports/182682). Attached patch contains the same fix as I submitted for chromium back then - pointing the build system to the base system's ar via CONFIGURE_ENV. --- Comment #1 from Bugzilla Automation --- Auto-assigned to maintainer gnome@FreeBSD.org
