<pre>Revision r186078 (2013-07-11) removed support for llvm-ar's "f" option, which
truncates names in archives. However,
<a href="http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-ar.html">http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-ar.html</a> still mentions "f" as a valid
option, and projects/sample/Makefile.llvm.rules still passes "f" to llvm-ar:
LArchive = $(LLVMToolDir)/llvm-ar rcsf
On top of that, the error message llvm-ar produces when an invalid option is
specified does not indicate *which* option was invalid or even that an option
was invalid. That made it take longer than it should have to track down the
problem: both the documentation and the Makefile.llvm.rules seem to indicate
that the "f" is still hunky-dory, which it's not.
Please update <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-ar.html">http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-ar.html</a> and
projects/sample/Makefile.llvm.rules.
Thanks,
-- Scott</pre>
