--- Comment #4 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> ---
CCing affected maintainers. The ports you maintain invoke /usr/bin/ar with the
-T flag expecting it to mean create a thin .a archive, but our ar truncates
member names to 15 characters with -T.

In the short term these ports should either drop T from flags passed to ar, or
use llvm-ar or GNU ar as a build dependency. We will transition to using
llvm-ar as /usr/bin/ar in the medium term, and these could switch back to
/usr/bin/ar with -T at that point.
