System: NetBSD ifree.spa.is.uec.ac.jp 1.3_ALPHA NetBSD 1.3_ALPHA (IFREE) #56: Fri Oct 24 12:49:51 JST 1997 msaitoh@ifree.spa.is.uec.ac.jp:/var/sources/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/IFREE i386


>Description:
	Even if the AR, NM, and RANLIB variables is pre-defined in the
	Makefile, these variables isn't inherited in the libkern/Makefile.inc
	and compat/common/Makefile.inc.

	I think AR, NM, and RANLIB should be inherited in libkern/Makefile.inc
	and compat/common/Makefile.inc.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Compile the MSB executable elf-based system on the LSB executable
	a.out-based system.
>Fix:
	Apply following patch:
