The ar(1) man page says the following about -P:

       P      Use the full path name when matching names  in  the
              archive.   ar can not create an archive with a full
              path name (such archives are not POSIX  complaint),
              but  other  archive creators can. [...]

I don't think it makes much sense to add an extension to ar(1) that allows users
to create non-POSIX compliant archives.  The required behaviour is well
described in IEEE P1003.1, then I think that the current behaviour should be
considered correct.  Users (including Makefiles) that invoke ar(1) should "not
do that".

Okay to close?
