Details:

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.
