What does that macro actually do in configure?
AM_PROG_AR([act-if-fail])
You must use this macro when you use the archiver in your project,
if you want support for unusual archivers such as Microsoft lib. The
content of the optional argument is executed if the archiver interface
is not recognized; the default action is to abort configure with an
error message.
Does this archiver get called at all?
