I've applied your patch as a "tiny change". That is, a change which is small enough not to need a copyright assignment. I needed to modify your patch to include an update to the ChangeLog file, though.

I also made a similar change for ranlib, and I attach both patches to this bug.

(file #29184, file #29185)

Cross compilation fails if you only have a host-prefixed 'ar'
This patch fixes that.

Look for '${host}-ar' as set by AC_CANONICAL_HOST before looking for the unprefixed 'ar'.
This is 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.
