[pkg-golang-devel] Bug#807138: golang: gccgo triggers ar warning message when invoked as "go -compiler=gccgo"

[Eric Cooper]

Package: golang
Version: 2:1.5.1-4
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch

Whenever gccgo is used via the /usr/bin/go command, it calls "ar cru ...",
which causes this warning:
    $ go build -compiler=gccgo
    # github.com/ecc1/primes
    ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')

Details:
    $ go build -x -compiler=gccgo
    WORK=/tmp/go-build529072590
    mkdir -p $WORK/github.com/ecc1/primes/_obj/
    mkdir -p $WORK/github.com/ecc1/primes/_obj/exe/
    cd /home/ecc/go/src/github.com/ecc1/primes
    /usr/bin/gccgo -I $WORK -c -g -m64 -fgo-relative-import-path=_/home/ecc/go/src/github.com/ecc1/primes -o $WORK/github.com/ecc1/primes/_obj/_go_.o ./primes.go
    ar cru $WORK/github.com/ecc1/libprimes.a $WORK/github.com/ecc1/primes/_obj/_go_.o
    # github.com/ecc1/primes
    ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')
    cd .
    /usr/bin/gccgo -o $WORK/github.com/ecc1/primes/_obj/exe/a.out $WORK/github.com/ecc1/primes/_obj/_go_.o -Wl,-( -m64 -Wl,-)
    mv $WORK/github.com/ecc1/primes/_obj/exe/a.out primes

The attached patch simply uses "ar cr" instead.  The extra I/O for
unchanged archive members is probably negligible.
