I'll be darned.  I apologize for the oversight.  I guess that I
should be spending more time learning Solaris, although I'd much
prefer to be on a different system.

I'm sorry; I should've been more specific.  I used the shell
script listing contained in the file binutils/README, in the
subsection "If you don't have ar":

#!/bin/sh
MAKE_PROG="${MAKE-make}"
MAKE="${MAKE_PROG} AR=true LINK=true"
export MAKE
${MAKE} $* all-libiberty
${MAKE} $* all-intl
${MAKE} $* all-bfd
cd binutils
MAKE="${MAKE_PROG}"
export MAKE
${MAKE} $* ar_DEPENDENCIES= ar_LDADD='../bfd/*.o `cat 
../libiberty/required-list ../libiberty/needed-list | sed -e "s,\([^ ][^ 
]*\),../libiberty/\1,g"` `if test -f ../intl/gettext.o; then echo 
'../intl/*.o'; fi`' ar
