Open part of this review.In JDK-8009196, a quick fix for letting the install repo find the correct AR was submitted. A better solution is possible, reverting that fix and instead supplying AR on the make command line from InstallWrapper.gmk, as is the pattern for other such variables. This webrev just reverts the change made in 8009196.
