Hello list,

Lately, I've been playing around with an old system (NeXTSTEP 3.3) whose
ar(1) implementation truncates member names to 15 characters. Generally
this hasn't posed a problem, but in building the iODBC libraries with
Libtool 2.4.2, I encountered linking issues traceable to this.

This is an interesting problem. There would be similar problems if the underlying filesystem did not support long file names (as was common on SYSVR.3 systems).

What happens if several of the original object file names are identical for the first 15 characters?
