See [1,2] for context. This becomes painfully complicated, sorry to bothering you - just trying to make this ARFLAGS/AR_FLAGS mess resolved. I would appreciate any help. Seems like the gl_PROG_AR_RANLIB was added by commit 2b14869442bc. Do you think the attached gnulib patches are reasonable then? First makes the gl_PROG_AR_RANLIB a bit more conservative and the second sets the ARFLAGS default to 'cr'. Pavel
