: Ah. I have a problem building Dev86 where ar is crashing, and was : going to wait until I had more info (e.g. ar seems to be working : until the build gets to a certain point, then refuses to work with : the archive any more). How can I find out more about the problem : with ar that Greg reported? The /usr/bin/ar is broken with the latest linux releases when used to archive .o files for the dev86 kit. Download my replacement /usr/bin/ar from ftp://microwindows.censoft.com/pub/microwindows/ar I have submitted a new ar86 that Rob uses in his latest cut, 0.14.9, so that /usr/bin/ar is no longer needed...
