+Fix cross link using autoconf detected AR
+
+If building on 32bit host and creating 64bit libraries, the target
+package builds should not invoke the 32bit hosts's ar.  Specifically
+you will get an error message like:
+
+x86_64-linux-gcc    -m64 --sysroot=/opt/qemux86-64/tmp/sysroots/qemux86-64 -g -o test test.o libnewt.a -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed -lslang
+libnewt.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
+collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
