If I understand correctly, libreadline.a is attempted to be created,
by

  ar cr libreadline.a readline.o vi_mode.o funmap.o keymaps.o parens.o
search.o rltty.o complete.o bind.o isearch.o display.o signals.o
util.o kill.o undo.o macro.o input.o callback.o terminal.o text.o
nls.o misc.o compat.o xfree.o xmalloc.o history.o histexpand.o
histfile.o histsearch.o shell.o mbutil.o tilde.o
test -n "ranlib" && ranlib libreadline.a

Why isn't $AR used, anyway? I was told one should use that kind of
environment variables.

I have
simon@linux-sqwp:~/SAGE/sage-4.8.alpha3> ar --version
GNU ar (GNU Binutils; openSUSE 12.1) 2.21.1

I am not 100% sure, but it could be that I was installing binutils
only after my first attempt to build sage-4.8.alpha3. Could it be that
that ar is broken? How could I find out?

Cheers,
Simon
