Hi,
troffcvt FTBFS with binutils 2.36 (currently in experimental). The reason is
that the WRPRC module tries to use the -l flag to ar by default, which
doesn't do anything in binutils <2.36 and starts having a function in
2.36, one that is different from the one that the WRPRC config script is
intending to use.
In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:
* patches/WRPRC-2.11.diff: Change ar command to use cq instead of clq to fix
compatibility with binutils 2.36.
Thanks for considering the patch.
Logan
