RELATED IDEAS

Cygwin/MinGW/Linux: ar command with outdated arguments

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently related Makfile use ARFLAGS=-rvu. But the 'u' modifier requires timestamps, which may be disabled during compile time of ar() with 'D' argument. In this case ar issues a related warning :

ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')

Background information: 
ar is compiled for MinGW (within msys toolchain) /Linux with 'D' as default
[D] - use zero for timestamps and uids/gids (default)
[U] - use actual timestamps and uids/gids

With gcc-14.1.0-mingw-w64msvcrt-12.0.0-r3 and Cygwin the ar command was build with option 'U' as default.
