Yes, the results are valid. The archive members are word (2 bytes) aligned, so an extra byte is added if the archive member length is odd. I found a specification (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar_(Unix) and http://www.regatta.cmc.msu.ru/doc/usr/share/man/info/ru_RU/a_doc_lib/files/aixfiles/ar_IA64.htm), saying that the padding byte should be '\n', so I checked it. This shown not to be true for openSUSE, which surprises me, since it is built from GNU binutils, which is same as in fedora or cygwin... I tried the openSUSE library with cygwin ar and it didn't complain, which means that asranlib is too strict. >> It seems that your ar uses the "'" character instead '\n' for >> padding.

Libraries generated with GNU ar (GNU Binutils) 2.18.50.20080625 on cygwin are OK. > Thanks again! > Arnim > > Thanks for the report and let me know about the response of suse maintainers if you'll report the strange behavior.
