+Subject: ARFLAGS: use 'cr' instead of 'cru' by default
+
+In some GNU/Linux distributions people started to compile 'ar'
+binary with --enable-deterministic-archives (binutils project).
+That, however, in combination with our previous long time working
+default AR_FLAGS=cru causes warnings on such installations:
+ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')
+
+The 'u' option (at least with GNU binutils) did small optimization
+during repeated builds because it instructed 'ar' to not
+open/close unchanged *.o files and to rather read their contents
+from old archive file.  However, its removal should not cause a
+big performance hit for usual workflows.
+
+Distributions started using --enable-deterministic-archives
+knowing that it would disable the 'u', just to rather have a bit
+more deterministic builds.
+
+Also, to justify this change a bit more, keeping 'u' in ARFLAGS
+could only result in many per-project changes to override
+Libtool's ARFLAGS default, just to silent such warnings.
+
+Fixes bug#19967.  Reported by Eric Blake.
+
+* m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): Default AR_FLAGS to 'cr'.
+(_LT_REQUIRED_DARWIN_CHECKS): Use $AR_FLAGS instead 'cru' string.
+* doc/libtool.texi: Do 's/ar cru/ar cr/' in whole documentation.
+* NEWS: Document.

+Subject: libool.m4: add ARFLAGS variable
+
+Libtool has used $AR_FLAGS since 2000-05-29 commit
+8300de4c54e6f04f0d, Automake ARFLAGS since 2003-04-06 commit
+a71b3490639831ca.  Even though ARFLAGS is younger, it sounds like
+better name according GNU Coding Standards.
+
+Related to bug#20082.
+
+* m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): Copy ARFLAGS value into AR_FLAGS
+variable if AR_FLAGS is not set.  Add new _LT_DECL'ed variable
+'lt_ar_flags' to keep the configure-time value of AR_FLAGS.  The
+new 'lt_ar_flags' is to be used as the default value for AR_FLAGS
+at libtool-runtime.
+* NEWS: Document.
