This becomes painfully complicated, sorry to bothering you - just trying
to make this ARFLAGS/AR_FLAGS mess resolved.  I would appreciate any help.

Seems like the gl_PROG_AR_RANLIB was added by commit 2b14869442bc.

Do you think the attached gnulib patches are reasonable then?  First makes
the gl_PROG_AR_RANLIB a bit more conservative and the second sets the
ARFLAGS default to 'cr'.
