The elfutils ar has never actually supported the u option. (That's a trivial bug that I'll fix.)
Ah...so I'm not going crazy...well, not any more so :)
What's unusual is that you are actually running the elfutils ar. It's pretty much not used by anyone, so I wouldn't bet too much on it having been tested enough to rely on.
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:
%{_bindir}/eu-addr2line %{_bindir}/eu-ar %{_bindir}/eu-elfcmp %{_bindir}/eu-elflint %{_bindir}/eu-findtextrel %{_bindir}/eu-nm %{_bindir}/eu-objdump %{_bindir}/eu-ranlib %{_bindir}/eu-readelf %{_bindir}/eu-size %{_bindir}/eu-strings %{_bindir}/eu-strip #%%{_bindir}/eu-ld %{_bindir}/eu-unstrip %{_bindir}/eu-make-debug-archive
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?
Thanks!
Jon.
P.S. Hope life is treating you well :)

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.

I just pushed an updated build with this corrected. Thanks for your time anyway, Roland. We now have, e.g. /usr/bin/eu-ar in our bootstrap.
