In short, AR is not by far a 1-to-1 mapping with LIB. On non-Microsoft toolchains, we are basically going to do static linking by ld + objcopy + ar; on Windows, it's just lib. So there is nothing to be gained by pretending that lib is ar. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17987#issuecomment-1962316021
