binutils/
* objcopy.c (deterministic): Make int rather than bfd_boolean, initialize to -1. (strip_options, copy_options): Add -U/--disable-deterministic-archives. (default_deterministic): New function. (strip_main, copy_main): Handle -U. Call default_deterministic. (copy_usage, strip_usage): Describe -U. Cite whether -D or -U is the default based on DEFAULT_AR_DETERMINISTIC. * doc/binutils.texi (objcopy, strip): Describe -U and effect of configure options on -D. * ar.c (default_deterministic): Comment fix.
