I'm getting some incorrect directories in my thin .a files when creating
the library in a directory above the current one. For example, if I do
"ar rT ../x.a x.o" from the directory y, the relative location of x.o as
specified in x.a is "../x.o" and not "y/x.o". It doesn't seem to be a
problem in the opposite direction -- "ar rT x.a y/x.o" generates the
relative location as "y/x.o".
Actually, is this a bug? I couldn't find any examples of the thin
archives being used googling after around for a while, so I'm not sure
my usage is correct.
Also, when using the broken .a files, ar t, ld, nm, and objdump give not
particularly useful error messages and produce no output. For instance,
ar t produces: "ar: x.a: No such file or directory".
I'm using version 2.21.0.20110209. I have a zipped up test case, but it
would probably take more time to extract it than to write your own. I'd
be glad to send it if it would be useful.
Cheers,
Andrew Baxter
