Hello,
I need some help on http://bugs.python.org/issue5941
The bug is quite simple: the Distutils unixcompiler used to set the archiver command to "ar -rc".
For quite a while now, this behavior has changed in order to be able to customize the compiler behavior from the environment. That introduced a regression because the mechanism in Distutils that looks for the AR variable in the environment also looks into the Makefile of Python. (in the Makefile then is os.environ)
And as a matter of fact, AR is set to "ar" in there, so the -cr option is not set anymore.
So my question is : should I make a change into the Makefile by adding for example a variable called AR_OPTIONS then build the ar command with AR + AR_OPTIONS
or
that doesn't make sense and I just need to change the behavior so it doesn't look for AR into the Makefile. (just in os.environ)
Thanks Tarek
