This build environment was not anticipated by the build system, which
employs:
$ git grep -A10 /tmp/ar
unix-Makefile.tmpl: if [ -f "$$a" ]; then ( trap "rm -rf /tmp/ar.$$$$" INT 0; \
unix-Makefile.tmpl: mkdir /tmp/ar.$$$$; ( cd /tmp/ar.$$$$; \
unix-Makefile.tmpl- cp -f "$$a" "$$a.new"; \
unix-Makefile.tmpl- for so in `$(AR) t "$$a"`; do \
unix-Makefile.tmpl- $(AR) x "$$a" "$$so"; \
unix-Makefile.tmpl- chmod u+w "$$so"; \
unix-Makefile.tmpl- strip -X32_64 -e "$$so"; \
unix-Makefile.tmpl- $(AR) r "$$a.new" "$$so"; \
unix-Makefile.tmpl- done; \
unix-Makefile.tmpl- )); fi; \
unix-Makefile.tmpl- $(AR) r "$$a.new" "$$s1"; \
unix-Makefile.tmpl- mv -f "$$a.new" "$$a"; \
The hard-coded /tmp there is not essential, it could be replaced with
mkdir -p .tmp/ar.$$$$, or some other appropriate path.
