Somewhere along the way, this was fixed on Fedora; I don't know whether it was a fix to system packages or a patch we applied to apr/httpd;
x86_64-linux-gnu-ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U') This error message is from Ubuntu 16.04-LTS, it appears we still have the same defect there. Just wondering if we had applied a fix ourselves, or this was actually a packager fix for this incredibly annoying side-effect? Cheers, Bill
