ar (and ranlib) do not correctly identify ELF64 files in an archive. It
complains that the format is ambiguous. See the testcase below:
[tesla:~]$ touch foo.c
[tesla:~]$ gcc -mabi=64 -o foo.o -c foo.c
[tesla:~]$ ar cq libfoo.a foo.o
[tesla:~]$ ar t libfoo.a
ar: libfoo.a: File format is ambiguous
ar: Matching formats: ecoff-littlemips ecoff-bigmips elf64-tradlittlemips
[tesla:~]$
