yes it does, but as the commit message says there are problems with older 
versions of ar:

    ipkg-utils: fix problem with older ar versions

    Commit 6b186e8bfc2e6c394db0de03047c8a81f0690d08 added the "-D" option to ar
    during creation of an ipkg. It turns out that nor all versions of "ar"
    support this option.

    For now turn off the patch that adds the "-D" option.

If you want to fix it properly, first try -D then fallback to without -D or 
something similar.

cheers, Marc
