[PATCH] add new AC_PROG_AR helper

2021-02-22 Thread Mike Frysinger
This mirrors the existing RANLIB and related toolchain macros that autoconf already exports. Some projects assume `ar` is available which isn't always safe, so provide a macro that probes the full toolchain settings. This also makes it easier to use AC_REQUIRE with the macro instead of
