Also reproducible on vanilla binutils-gdb. The main suspect of build log:
touch ar.1
perl ../../../binutils-gdb/binutils/../etc/texi2pod.pl -I
"../../../binutils-gdb/binutils/doc" -I
"../../../binutils-gdb/binutils/../libiberty" -I
"../../../binutils-gdb/binutils/../bfd/doc" -I ../../bfd/doc --no-split -Dman
-Dar < ../../../binutils-gdb/binutils/doc/binutils.texi > ar.pod
usage: ../../../binutils-gdb/binutils/../etc/texi2pod.pl [-D toggle...] [infile
[outfile]]
make[3]: [Makefile:927: ar.1] Error 255 (ignored)
(pod2man --center="GNU Development Tools" --release="binutils-2.37.50"
--section=1 ar.pod | sed -e '/^.if n .na/d' > ar.1.T$$ && \
mv -f ar.1.T$$ ar.1) || (rm -f ar.1.T$$ && exit 1)
pod2man: unable to format ar.pod
rm -f ar.pod
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/sl
Note that --no-split is not recognized by texi2pod.pl.
I suspect --no-split comes from.

generate single html manual page by default
This better matches other GNU projects like autoconf/automake where
the html manual is the single page form. We'll support the multi-page
form in a follow up change.
