Nope, that is for something different.

The usual way is to use the brand new Gnu Make executable to install
itself:

  ./make install

Make sure that the directory where 'ar' lives is in your $PATH variable.
($PATH is a list of places where the system looks for commands to run).
Once that is set, then 'make' in the gdb directory ought to run 'ar'
on its own when it needs to, just as it runs 'gcc'.
