Correct bug in the object file output code leading to stack corruption It turns out leaving a pointer to a stack allocated temporary in a persistent data structure is not conducive to correct program operation. Undo the export check setup in the object file output sequence so a pointer to stack allocated memory is not left hanging when the function returns. This seems to correct at least one mysterious crash bug, and possibly others. Thanks to Boisy Pitre for reporting the crash bug that led to this discovery, as well as a previous crash bug that likely has the same root cause. Additional thanks to Ciaran Anscomb whose debugger wielding wizardry revealed the exact location of this particular bit of unbrilliance.

# this was based somewhat on the "ar" script from gcc6809

# This script is a frontend to the lwar library manager, to make it
# look more like GNU ar.  Not all ar features are supported here.
# It basically translates ar style options into lwar format.

# Parse and translate command-line options

# ar options cheatsheet:
# r: insert (with replace)
# c: create archive
# u: only replace newer files
# v: verbose mode
# x: extract files from archive
