@bors: r+ Sure! And yeah at this point I doubt we'll ever go back to invoking an external archiver |

…lexcrichton Document that `-C ar=PATH` doesn't do anything Are there any plans to use an external archiver in the future? IIRC, it was used before, but its use was replaced with LLVM's built-in archive management machinery. I can't found a relevant PR though. EDIT: Found it - rust-lang#26926! The `-C` option is stable so it still can't be removed right away even if there are no plans to use it (but maybe it can be deprecated?). Target specifications have a field for archiver as well, which is unused too (these ones are unstable, so I guess it can be removed). r? @alexcrichton
