   Is this just that the code to check for "wrong format" was missing?  So
   now it prints a better message?

With the patch I sent, ar works correctly when configured with
--enable-targets=all.  It's still possible to have ambiguity problems
with --enable-targets=all, but this one wasn't an ambiguity problem.
It was a bug.

   Were you able to reproduce Eric Norum's Srecord split problem?  Did you
   get all the information you wanted?

Yes, I was able to reproduce it.  The bug appears to have been there
for a long time.  I haven't looked into fixing it yet.  The patch
would be to calculate the correct section size in setup_sections
rather than in copy_sections.
