Automake outputs 'AR = ar' in Makefile.in for rules creating old
libraries iff neither AC_PROG_LIBTOOL nor another method to define
AR correctly is used in configure.ac.
So this issue concerns packages using Automake but not using Libtool.
I figured with AM_PROG_AR eventually being needed anyway that would fix
this in one go ...
A good workaround, as already mentioned, is to use this in configure.ac: AC_CHECK_TOOL([AR], [ar], [false])
Cheers,
Ralf
