suggested fix

When llvm-ar is used with the "r" option to insert/replace files in an archive,
it only works if the files aren't in the archive already.

If the files are in the archive, they never seem to get updated.

You can see this by using "llvm-ar tv libname.a" which shows the timestamps of
the files in the archive. Try doing "llvm-ar crs libname.a somefile.o", touch
somefile.o, rerun the previous command and then look at the timestamps.


This seems to be due to a simple typo in doReplaceOrInsert() in
tools/llvm-ar/llvm-ar.cpp. Patch attached.
