AR from older binutils doesn't work with --plugin and rc: [hjl@gnu-cfl-2 bin]$ touch foo.c [hjl@gnu-cfl-2 bin]$ ar --plugin /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/10/liblto_plugin.so rc libfoo.a foo.c [hjl@gnu-cfl-2 bin]$ ./ar --plugin /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/10/liblto_plugin.so rc libfoo.a foo.c ./ar: no operation specified [hjl@gnu-cfl-2 bin]$ ./ar --version GNU ar (Linux/GNU Binutils) 2.29.51.0.1.20180112 Copyright (C) 2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Check if AR works with --plugin and rc before passing --plugin to AR and RANLIB. Tested: 1. Binutils build 2. ./src-release.sh gdb 3. ./src-release.sh binutils with binutils 2.30. H.J.
