You should not have to hand edit anything.
In particular, did you make sure your binutils were on the PATH?
configure will use $TARGET-ar for AR_FOR_TARGET if it sees it on the PATH.


Please try Jay's script, or at least read and understand it.
Otherwise you're going to run into lots and lots of roadblocks,
and each time we answer one of your questions, it'll be something
that Jay's script would have shown you how to do, I bet.
