To build the ipk packages, we need the 'f' flag which is a GNU extension:
-{ ar(1) }----------------------------------------------------------------------
f Truncate names in the archive. GNU ar will normally permit file names
of any length. This will cause it to create archives which are not
compatible with the native ar program on some systems. If this is a
concern, the f modifier may be used to truncate file names when putting
them in the archive.

this is annoying, it will require gnu binutils which is not available on
my mac by default.
Couldn't we use some approach like
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.ptxdist.devel/8533
(pachting ipkg to use toolchain provided ar, which should be GNU
binutils for linux targets).
Another way would be to stick at opkg to build the ipkg packages on mac.
What do you think about that?
regards
Andreas Bießmann
