I had a similar problem and played around with it long time ago. The simplest (though inconvenient) way is to call 'make AR="ar -X64"' every time you need it. Otherwise, you could write some shell code in configure.ac to determine AR or ARFLAGS and to set them with AC_SUBST. I think this should work. Andreas
