The U argument was added to fix this warning in Ubuntu:
ar: 'u' modifier ignored since 'D' is the default (see 'U') [1]
[1]
https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/commit/1b9cff1c5d09adb0af858992e2a2df01b1d4dc58
The manpage for 'ar' says about 'D':
If binutils was configured with --enable-deterministic-archives, then
this mode is on by default.
I would like to ask upstream to revert [1], but Ubuntu is a
Debian-derivative. Should our binutils be built differently (or have
they changed since [1] was authored)?
Kind regards
Felix Lechner
