Good idea. Here comes the patch: http://web.student.chalmers.se/~kaiw/patch/ar-20080112.diff To apply it: # cd /usr/src # patch -p1 < PATH/ar-20080112.diff To enable the build of BSD ar: (disable GNU ar) # cd /usr/src # make buildworld -DWITH_BSDAR # ... # make installworld -DWITH_BSDAR Any feedback would be greatly appreciated :) Kai Wang
