wheezy armhf works fine with that test file for me.  Both lsar and
unar worked.

Worked fine in a chroot for me.

Worked fine in a chroot for me.

No, I don't think so.  What system did you run your test on?  I tested
on a couple of different Cortex-A15 systems.  Perhaps the ObjC runtime
library has accidentally picked up some CPU dependancy it wasn't
supposed to.

You could try running 'strace' on the lsar or unar, and perhaps it would
give a clue what it was doing when it got the unknown error.

Unfortunately the code which prings 'Archive parsing failed' is in ObjC,
which I don't usually deal with, so parsing what it does takes some time
(ObjC is in interesting but certainly different language).
