Hi Michal,

After merging the kbuild tree, today's linux-next build (s390 allnoconfig)
failed like this:

/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.3.2-nolibc/bin/s390x-linux-ar: illegal option -- D

Caused by commit 09ff9fecc039 ("kbuild: Use the deterministic mode of ar").

$ /opt/crosstool/gcc-4.3.2-nolibc/bin/s390x-linux-ar --version
GNU ar (GNU Binutils) 2.19

I presume that this version of ar is now too old to build the kernel?
Documentation/Changes only mentions Binutils verion 2.12.
