Quoting the original bug, #0000536:

> Using buildroot from 20051105 I run into a problem trying to compile apps

> real binutils in buildroot.  This is most noticable with ar for which the

But now... both busybox 1.11.x.config and 1.13.x.config have CONFIG_AR=y (again).

The real solution it probably to ensure that the busybox installation step runs before the binutils one like it's done for util-linux.
