I am trying to compile the GNU MIX assembly development kit on Mac OS X 10.8.4. I've installed the dependencies through homebrew, and when I run configure in the mdk directory, I get a success message:
*** GNU MDK 1.2.7 has been successfully configured. ***
Type 'make' to build the following utilities:
- mixasm (MIX assembler)
- mixvm (MIX virtual machine)
But when I run make, It spits out this error:
~/Downloads/mdk-1.2.7 > make

It looks like ar is failing, although I don't know why. How can I debug this further?
