I just added this to a larger pull, swiftlang/swift#39921, that updates the compiler repo to use Android NDK 23, which got rid of binutils, so updating the archiver here too. Not too important when cross-compiling, as you can still use the system
arjust fine, but when natively compiling in the Termux app on Android,llvm-aris now the default archiver there.I also had to patch llbuild to get SPM to use
llvm-ar, otherwise it just uses the firstarit finds in the systemPATH. @neonichu, this means SPM doesn't use the--toolchainor-Xswiftc -tools-directorypaths passed in for static library products that call the archiver, seemingly breaking that contract. Obviously not too important, as any archiver will do, but when the name changes like it does natively on Android, I had to patch llbuild too.
