I only hit this with ar.
We actually only have the host-prefixed tools, so the others should be fine.

About AC_SUBST: I just wanted to keep the patch small. Why use two lines if it can be done in one.
Feel free to amend though, if you prefer
    AC_CHECK_TOOL([AR], [ar])
    AC_SUBST([AR])

Is it needed only for ar? What about other bintools (ld, etc)? Also, what is wrong in using AC_SUBST?

This patch changes configure.ac to look for '${host}-ar' before looking for the unprefixed 'ar'.
This id useful when cross-compiling when all your binutils are prefixed.
I used AC_CHECK_TOOLS instead of AC_CHECK_TOOL, since autoconf docs say that the former calls AC_SUBST
