 yes?

 Honestly, I don't think so. If cctools' `ar` command doesn't support
 adding object files to existing static libraries that is not audacity's
 fault.

 Idem if one cannot do
 {{{
 > mkdir combine
 > cd combine
 > ar x /lib/libfoo.a
 > ar x /lib/libbar.a
 > ar vq libfoobar.a *
 }}}

 To the best of my knowledge that is standard (if possibly somewhat
 forgotten) UNIX functionality. It's OK for cctools not to support it as
 long as there are alternative ways to achieve the same thing, but in that
 case it should raise an error, not create a corrupt archive that (much)
 later on gives a useless error.

 When something works for a whole series of releases and then breaks this
 way it has a bug. Either a down-to-earth regression or a (long-standing)
 one in the documentation and input checking/error handling.
