Re: [avrdude-dev] Windows building advice

Hello Joerg,

I was expecting your Mon Sep 9 15:00:36 2013 +0000 patch which is
described as

"Check for ar and ranlib in the target tool namespace, rather than on
the host."

to fix the problem with Makefile's AR using the MXE cross-environment
but it does not.  We still have a weird "AR = :" generated.

Fixing manually is easy "AR = i686-pc-mingw32-ar" but it better be done
via configure :-)

Thanks, Enoch.
