Fedora solved, Ubuntu still a problem?

[William A Rowe Jr <wr...@rowe-clan.net>]

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

Glad to help :)

Ok, I'm on it.

We entertain all test reports! No two build scenarios are identical,
so even on a given architecture, we need multiple attempts to build to
discover what we might have busted since the last release. Thanks for
the offer :)

This is based on the current svn rev building httpd against system
apr/apr-util and other packages, as well as a build of all
dependencies. I suspect the root cause exists in APR, and not httpd
itself.

I volunteer on the Linux From Scratch project and have a built with the most current gcc, binutils
and friends with as minimal patching as possible. Do you want me to test httpd 2.4.30 on it? (I do
plan to test trunk later on...)
