I noticed this while configuring webkit-gtk 2.3.90:
checking for stdbool.h that conforms to C99... yes
checking for _Bool... yes
usage: ar -d [-TLsv] archive file ...
ar -m [-TLsv] archive file ...
ar -m [-abiTLsv] position archive file ...
ar -p [-TLsv] archive [file ...]
ar -q [-cTLsv] archive file ...
ar -r [-cuTLsv] archive file ...
ar -r [-abciuTLsv] position archive file ...
ar -t [-TLsv] archive [file ...]
ar -x [-ouTLsv] archive [file ...]
checking for bash... /opt/local/bin/bash
checking if dolt supports this host... no, falling back to libtool
checking how to print strings... printf

This is from Source/autotools/SetupLibtool.m4
if test -z "$AR_FLAGS"; then
if "${AR:-ar}" -V | grep -q 'GNU ar'; then
AR_FLAGS="cruT"
else
AR_FLAGS="cru"
fi
fi
So you might want to just direct stderr to /dev/null to not raise alarms...

The CMake build has supplanted the autotools build.
