You just need to use $(TARGET_AR) the same way you're using $(TARGET_CC)
and others.
Snip:

define LIBFPGA_BUILD_CMDS
        $(MAKE) CC="$(TARGET_CC)" LD="$(TARGET_LD)" \
        AR="$(TARGET_AR)" -C $(@D) all
endef

Or better still what usually works...
        $(MAKE) $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) -C $(@D)
