This reverts commit 2163ca2d033f0165990cb66af88ed216e9b17046. Removing `export AR=gcc-ar` was apparently done based on the assumption that the linked issue (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1646) had been solved completely on meson's side. Instead, their solution, seen in https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/2815, had been to force gcc-ar for linking static libraries; by exporting `AR=ar`, we were accidentally breaking static libraries when LTO is enabled. This was noticed by leah while we were trying to build qemu-user-static using the normal libglib-devel package (built with meson, which for us defaults to enabling LTO). Unfortunately, while correct, this change wasn't enough to fix the static glib build, which had to resort to disabling LTO.
BUILD STYLES ============ These shell snippets provide support for multiple build systems, i.e GNU configure, CMake, etc. A build style file must provide at least the following functions: - do_configure - do_build - do_install If a source package defines its own do_xxx() function, the function defined in the build style file is simply ignored.
