 Does it fail if you rerun the command outside of the build system?
 (The full command line is in the debug info.)
 Debugging will be easier if it does.
 Try reducing the number of input files on the command line - the
 bug might be caused by one specific file, or by the number of files.
 
 Run 'ulimit -c unlimited' in the shell before running the command
 so that the 'abort' generates a core dump.
 
 run 'gdb full_path_to_ar core_file' then 'bt' to get a back trace.
 The arguments to sprintf() are likely to be useful - the format
 string might identify the faulting call, and the associated
 arguments why it goes wrong.
