This commit adds the 'D' flag to 'ARFLAGS' variable. The flag makes archive builds deterministic, which will allow comparing archives built at different times and by different users (see ar manual for details). Without this flag, re-builds (without code changes) will not be comparable in a simple way. To see how it works: > make && mkdir first_build && cp lib/*.a && make clean > make && mkdir seсond_build && cp lib/*.a && make clean > diff first_build second_build Without 'D' flag 'diff' will show the difference because the timestamps in the archive index will be different.
