Hi,
I have been working on the port of glibc (CVS snapshot) to my MIPS R4400
based machine running SVR4.2. After a couple of hacks and other twists and
turns the compilation progresses smoothly until the point where libc_pic.a
is being generated where things fails citing the following problem:

I suspected that this problem could be with 'sh'. On my system 'sh' is 'bash'
like linux systems. using the native 'sh' also did not solve the problem. I
tried to look into sources of ar. But got no hints in that too. I am able to
selectively archive the files.
Have anyone faced any such problem ?. Is thre any other workaround ??
Any sort of help will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards
