--- Comment #10 from cmt at burggraben.net ---
Sorry, I have to disagree: the original issue - GNU ar archives not being
usable by basesystem's ld (and the resulting linker fail in for
Programs/LLIntOffsetsExtractor) - has not been adressed and even less fixed by
the commit.
The build (with devel/binutils installed) still fails at

  CXXLD    libWTF.la
  CXXLD    Programs/LLIntOffsetsExtractor
/usr/bin/ld:./.libs/libWTF.a: file format not recognized; treating as linker
script
/usr/bin/ld:./.libs/libWTF.a:1: syntax error
c++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
GNUmakefile:40539: recipe for target 'Programs/LLIntOffsetsExtractor' failed
gmake[2]: *** [Programs/LLIntOffsetsExtractor] Error 1
gmake[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

and can still be fixed by forcing use of the basesystem's ar, as seen in the
attached patch. Same goes for #195500 which addresses the same issue for
webkit-gtk3, and #196296 which is a duplicate of this (obviously, I missed that
one when I filed this PR).
