Busybox ar error TinyCore64 13.1

[mocallins]

Is it that the "ar" included it to new, or to old ?

I've had an error trying to compile a few extentions on multiple versions of TinyCore.

Hi mocallins
It sounds like you did not install a proper toolchain. Install  compiletc  and
try again.  compiletc  pulls in  binutils  which includes the full version of  ar.
