I noticed this while configuring webkit-gtk 2.3.90: checking for stdbool.h that conforms to C99... yes checking for _Bool... yes usage: ar -d [-TLsv] archive file ... ar -m [-TLsv] archive file ... ar -m [-abiTLsv] position archive file ... ar -p [-TLsv] archive [file ...] ar -q [-cTLsv] archive file ... ar -r [-cuTLsv] archive file ... ar -r [-abciuTLsv] position archive file ... ar -t [-TLsv] archive [file ...] ar -x [-ouTLsv] archive [file ...] checking for bash... /opt/local/bin/bash checking if dolt supports this host... no, falling back to libtool checking how to print strings... printf

This is from Source/autotools/SetupLibtool.m4 if test -z "$AR_FLAGS"; then if "${AR:-ar}" -V | grep -q 'GNU ar'; then AR_FLAGS="cruT" else AR_FLAGS="cru" fi fi So you might want to just direct stderr to /dev/null to not raise alarms...

The CMake build has supplanted the autotools build.
