Yes using AR_FLAGS looks correct. FAST_AR_FLAGS was added because incremental 'ar' is ridiculously slow on Mac. [and all-legacy relies on incremental update to the library] Since the new builds [cmake/gmake/builder] will keep all .o files - and do a single step library creation - we could eliminate FAST_AR_FLAGS [when we eliminate all-legacy] Satish
