- Subject: GNU binutils ar strips path names from objects
I'm battling the libjava build process attempting to get all of this to
build on i686-pc-mingw32. Besides having trouble with command line
length, I'm having trouble with ar doing the wrong thing.
In both binutils cvs and 2.15, ar ignores the path name and looks only
at the filename. I know that some binutils version in the path behaved
differently from this.
In any case, theres quite a few files with the same names (but different
pathnames) in libgcj, and so this causes problems.
I'm a little curious why other binutils-using platforms aren't having
this problem. How do I fix this?
