Obviously this would cause problems when 'ar' does not support the 
binutils-specific 'U' option and the result is then non-deterministic. 
Hard-coding non-portable options is contrary to the goals of portable 
software.

The deterministic build may slow down the build process and the 
warning is annoying.  Deterministic builds are a good thing though.
