I am not exactly sure how to report this, since I doubt you want to see the 
30-odd object files. This is on a Sun 3 running 3.4, ar version of Mar 5.

The problem is just that strcmp is called with a null pointer, as the
following backtrace shows.

Please let me know what other information I could give you that would help.

gdb $gnu/bin/ar core
