[Bug java/21754] New: ./libtool: /mingw/bin/ar: Invalid argument

[Christopher dot Dawes at retail-logic dot com]

Having tweaked the bootstrapclasspath for dom & sax for libjava and applied the
patch in bug 21022 I've hit another problem. When it gets to the final stages
with libtool it produces the following error:

--
./libtool: /mingw/bin/ar: Invalid argument
make[1]: *** [libgcj0_convenience.la] Error 126
make[1]: Leaving directory `/f/GCC_BuildDir/obj/mingw32/libjava'
--

I compiled using the following script:

--
../gcc-4.0.0/configure --with-gcc --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as --host=mingw32
--target=mingw32 --prefix=/mingw  --enable-threads --disable-nls
--enable-languages=c++,c,java --disable-win32-registry --enable-shared
--enable-libgcj
make "CFLAGS=-O2" "LDFLAGS=-s" bootstrap
make
make DESTDIR=/f/GCC_InstallDir install
--

The command is unfortuately too long to fit in the comment box so i have
uploaded it to:

Unfortunately it's nothing to do with compiling or linking, it's when it's then
trying to archive it however i've not managed to find the part of the Makefile
which calls ar.exe, if i could I'd try splitting it into individual statements
to ar each file one by one until i found out whether there were too many
arguments or whether there was an incorrect argument.
