Hi,

Doing the "./control" mods didn't fix my build.  I dug a bit more and
discovered that the ArFile class doesn't respect that the ends of data fields
are padded so that they end on a 2 byte offset (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar_%28Unix%29).

Sticking the following at the end of the _scan function in the ArFile class in
arfile.py fixes stuff for me:

if (self.f.tell() % 2) == 1:
    self.f.seek(1,1)

I'll put a patch up when I've verified that this works from a clean checkout.
