Please back this out immediately.

If you don't understand why, see http://tinderbox.freebsd.org/

I think it would be sufficient to back out the changes to the makefiles to build and install gnu ar/ranlib by default and install the bsd ar/ranlib as bsdar/bsdranlib, in the same way we did a transition to bsdtar over time (or just set WANT_GNUAR by default).
