Perhaps the GNU binutils are just for the avr-binutils package or such. I'll concede that it seems likely that openbsd would have it's own ar, but I do point out that GNU binutils is probably in obsd cvs for a reason, and it's certainly not to take the code; license issues and all.

That's a flat rule, FreeBSD doesn't have the hardline approach and may very will use GPL code, but OpenBSD avoids it. OpenBSD's developers went through the trouble of rewriting stuff like gzip, tar, diff, grep and many other programmes just to avoid the filth that is GNU. Pretty close to the only thing that the GNU make that OpenBSD uses is the GCC. OpenBSD will never, ever, ever use GNU’s binutils, they never will.
