I didn't know about "bld", but it's an acceptable substitute for "ar" if the
tests still pass OK when linked with the bld library. We can change the
configure script to use bld instead of ar when generating the Makefiles for
the next release, if that's preferred.

That sounds fine, since the SEGLDR(1) documentation recommends bld.
