I use MinGW cross compilation exclusively, so never run into this issue. However, I use scons w/ MSVC and this nevers happens, because scons passes options to MS lib/link via a option file.
GNU ar too, supports this, so it is probably just a matter of teaching scons to use option files to GNU ar too. Jose ----- Original Message ----- > I am trying to build with LLVM under windows.
