One of our customers has noticed a change in the behaviour of 'ar'
between 2.10.1 and 2.12.1 or later.
2.10.1
------
$ ar rcs test.a object.o
$ ar rcs test.a dir/object.o
$ ar tv test.a
rw-rw-rw- 1003/513 21368 Jul 27 13:14 2004 object.o
rw-rw-rw- 1003/513 12384 Jul 27 13:14 2004 dir/object.o
2.12.1 (or later)
-----------------
$ ar rcs test.a object.o
$ ar rcs test.a dir/object.o
$ ar tv test.a
rw-rw-rw- 1003/513 12384 Jul 27 13:14 2004 object.o
I tried the -P option to ar, but that only causes ar to add every object
to the file whether the full path matches or not. Is this behaviour
expected?
