When set, it forces all timestamps and owners to zero and
modes to 0644. Useful for producing libraries that are
bitwise identical across multiple build runs.

ar(1)'s dependencies on compressor libraries -lz, -lbz2 and -llzma and
fixes building HEAD on some versions of FreeBSD[78]. Option -j and -z
is now accepted but ignored.
Compressed ar(1) archives are not useful without a ld(1) that can read
them. Also, the current ar(1) compression scheme prevents random
access of archive members and needs to be redesigned anyway.

script mode like the MRI(Microtec Research Inc.) "librarian" program.
Originally this option is provided by Binutils ar(1) to ease the
transition for developers who are used to writing "librarian" scripts.
We added this option to BSD ar(1) because:
1. Further improve the compatibility with Binutils ar(1).
2. There are still a few software using this -M option. (at least one
in our ports collection)

page stated, thus BSD ar(1) option -q, which was implemented based on
the GNU ar manual page, turns out to be incompatible with GNU ar -q.
This change will make BSD ar(1) -q a *REAL* GNU ar -q:
1. It will update symbol table. (same as unfixed version)
2. It will NOT compare new members spcified in the command line args
with existing members, instead, append them directly.

- Fix a malloc buffer overrun: Use a while loop to check whether
the string buffer is big enough after resizing, since doubling
once might not be enough when a very long member name or symbol
name is provided.
- Fix typo.

Do not mmap 0-size objects and do not try to extract symbol from
0-size objects, but do treat 0-size objects as qualified objects and
accept them as an archive member. (A member with only the header part)
Note that GNU binutils ar on FreeBSD ignores 0-size objects, but on
Linux it accepts them. [1] But, since this is a rare usage, we can
safely ignore the compatibility issue.
