You are welcome. Since nobody else commented or complained, I have gone ahead and committed my patch. > I wonder whether binutils/configure.ac can default to > default_ar_deterministic=1. I think that this might be a bad idea, because it will confuse users who are unaware the usefulness of reproducible builds. Developers and distributions that are aware of the feature will be able to configure their tools correctly, so I think that the current status quo is best. Cheers Nick
