   This problem is another -mlittle one.  Here is a test case:

   ------------------ assembly file used to duplicate this -----
	   .file   "j.s"

	   .section ".text"
	   .align 2
	   .globl f
   f:
	   blr
   ----------------------- end of file

   ../gas/as-new -mlittle -o j.o j.s
   ../binutils/ar rc j.a j.o
   ../binutils/ar rc j.a j.o
   ../binutils/ar: j.a: Invalid operation

Found the problem.

Ian
