NodeJS fails to build on archlinux x86_64, write error

[pmatos]

I am trying to compile node on an archlinux, x86_64 machine 4.18.14-arch1-1-ARCH.

I do the recommended steps:

./configure
make

I tried -j1, -j2 and all end up in the same way. A massive command line calling ar and a failure:

That write error means the subprocess's stdout is in non-blocking mode. This issue is most likely a dup of #14752 and I'll close it as such. edit: And thanks for the bug report.
