automake currently defines $(AR) only if it sees a _LIBRARIES primary.
That may be an issue or not (and the wrong value for cross setups that
it defines is definitely an issue), but not important for this test
IMVHO, so how about this patch to avoid a spurious test failure as in
http://autobuild.josefsson.org/automake/log-201101150749395803000.txt
test -f ./subdir/fsusage.c
test -f libobj2-1.0/subdir/fsusage.c
tv ./subdir/libtu.a
Make: Cannot load tv. Stop.
*** Error exit code 1
(The important point for fixing the other $(AR) issues is that the
definition must not clash with one from AC_PROG_LIBTOOL or from users.)
Thanks,
Ralf
Fix libobj2.test failure with non-GNU make: define $(AR).
* tests/libobj2.test: Ensure $(AR) is suitably defined.
