Wrong "ar" is used when crosscompiling since 2.1.6

Hi everyone,

since version 2.1.6 building will always use plain "ar" when creating static 
libraries. Before it used the one matching the target triplet when 
crosscompiling. I can circumvent this by passing "AR=foo-bar-ar" to make for 
the moment. I suspect it is a side effect of the libtool removal.

Regards

Eike

this indeed seems to be the case. I patched the autoconf file to include a check
for ar. I quickly verified both the broken behavior and the fix with a yocto
toolchain. The fix is now pushed to mtd-utils.git master (the commit hash is
1be992db04fc71296a98303724635b2b6b0cd10d).

Thanks,

David
