Of course!

CC: Outfile required when -xar flag is used

As you see, CC is called with -xar, which I believe is correct, but I
don't know what the `x' is supposed to do. As you saw in the previous
mail, I found the following bit of code in the generated libtool:

| > # The archiver.
| > AR="/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC -xar"
| > AR_FLAGS="-o"

Which seems to be correct, but further down.

The
$run eval "(cd \$xdir && $AR x \$xabs)" || exit $?
looks a bit strange to me?
