        <pre>In order to be compatible with GNU ar llvm-ar should support P modifier.
GNU ar description of this modifier from man page:

<span class="quote">> Use the full path name when matching names in the archive.  GNU ar
> can not create an archive with a full path name (such archives are
> not POSIX complaint), but other archive creators can.  This option
> will cause GNU ar to match file names using a complete path name,
> which can be convenient when extracting a single file from an
> archive created by another tool.</span >

Linux kernel uses this feature in scripts/Makefile.build and
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh like "ar rcSTPD <files>" and "ar rcsTPD <files>" (all
the modifiers except for P are currently supported).</pre>
