> Is ar.exe the only binutils program that needs a larger transfer buffer?

Yes for FFMPEG (rm.exe is from fileutils and make is from make package). I never tried to rebuild GCC from sources. I had this problem (too many files was processed during build process) some years ago and I don't know if there was some recent change to handle small TB at runtime as DJ told. Maybe it's no longer needed...
