It's RISC OS.  The command is still 'ar', but it's in a different
path and is a wrapper to a different tool which generates RISC OS
library files - i.e, not Archive files.   Having said that, my argument
falls a bit flat, because you can in fact alter the path for the
duration of the make call.  Still, it would be nice for consistency
since all the other standard build tools are defined in the Configure
script, and defining what ar really is standard (ish) for other build
systems.

Thanks, Peter
