I compared them, and the difference is as follows:

So in both cases we have the same basic problem, that the ar
argument is not untransformed. However, 3.0 ar seems to behave
differently in case of this error than -current ar.

I'll disable the gnumeric perl plugin unconditionally for now,
until this bug (in buildlink3 as I see it) is fixed.
