I just do a "make install" in the bootstrap script, which I thought resulted in an "ar" binary getting installed (as opposed to eu-ar). It seems Fedora confines the list of files installed to:

Can you let me know which of the elfutils actually matter to use for bootstrap? i.e. if there's a binutils version of the same name for any given utility, why not just use the binutils version?
I see that I was missing this tidbit from the SPEC file:
%global _program_prefix eu-
That explains a lot and I'll take care of it in the bootstrap. Also, though, I'm still interested to know why we'd want e.g. elfutils ar.
Thanks,
Jon.
