Seems like GNU ar is different from other ar's in that if you specify
the -M option, it can indeed get its arguments from stdin (I don't
know any other ar which works that way). So that would indeed be a
possible solution for Linux.
All except Solaris and Mac OS X I think, or are there other
platforms that
don't use GNU binutils?
The ar man page on HP-UX is from GNU ar, but it doesn't support -M.
The reason might be that the man page is from 1991 (and that's for HP-
UX B.11.22 for Itanic, i.e. the latest). The ar itself doesn't seem
to be GNU ar, since it doesn't recognize -v, -V nor --version. I
guess I should have said that most non-free OS'es probably don't
support it, since I'm not a *BSD user and thus don't know what they
support and what they don't.
