Change Details

Our ar has a different function for `-T` compared to GNU ar and LLVM ar. We specify `-T` as `Use only the first fifteen characters of the archive member name or command line file name argument when naming archive members.` `-f` provides the same functionality. GNU ar and LLVM ar use `-T` to specify creation of thin archives. PR: 260523 [exp-run] LLVM issue: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/25899

ar: accept but ignore 'T' option In previous versions of BSD ar -T was an alias for -f -- use only the first 15 characters of archive member names. In GNU ar and LLVM ar -T creates a thin archive. The -f / old BSD ar -T functionality is not particularly useful, and ignoring -T still results in a usable and compatible (but not thin) archive.
