Comment:

 Fix found.

 Note that in '''both''' the above logs, we make the .a files using plain
 old vanilla "ar", not with the fancy apple-flavored ar.

 This is apparently because we aren't searching for a cross-compiling ar at
 all, and never were: it's just that some place around fdbdb4dc1500, we
 started doing something that made fancy ar needful here.

 I tried a patch to tell autoconf to look for a good cross-compiling ar,
 and it worked for sid77.  See branch "bug3909" in my public repository.
