I did this

Got following message when build on debian 9 ppc64le

CC vtls/libcurl_la-mbedtls.lo
CCLD libcurl.la
/usr/bin/ar: u' modifier ignored since D' is the default (see `U')
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/foobar/curl60/curl-7.60.0/lib'

I expected the following

no warning "/usr/bin/ar: u' modifier ignored since D' is the default (see `U')"

curl/libcurl version

7.60.0

operating system

foobar@deb9le-dev01:~$ uname -a
Linux deb9le-dev01 4.9.0-3-powerpc64le #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2 (2017-06-12) ppc64le GNU/Linux

I get this as well on current Debian unstable (sid) on x86-64. I blame libtool automake!

This "hack" removes the warning:

OK, Thanks!

I also searched, found this workaround

The automake default ar flags are 'cru', but the 'u' flag in there
causes warnings on many modern Linux distros. Removing 'u' may have a
minor performance impact on older distros but should not cause harm.

Explained on the automake mailing list already back in April 2015:
