Correction: There are 4 different implementations: The binutils one (bucomm.c), the mingw one, the gnulib one, and the glibc one. The 'ar' program is most likely using the binutils one, which - according to what you tested - is a low-quality implementation, like the mingw one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
