Makefile.ams to get the correct ar for cross-toolchains.  I
believe this is no longer needed in CVS Automake (HEAD), since
Automake now uses `autoconf --trace', sees the AC_SUBST
performed by AC_CHECK_TOOL, and should therefore override its AR
definition with yours. Alexandre Duret-Lutz  reply via email to
