Details:

I am trying to cross-compile AvrDude and ran into a small problem.  I have a
workaround for now, but i just wanted to inform you of the issue.  the problem
is that the cross-compile version of the "ar" program is not being used. 
these are the steps i took:

./bootstrap
./configure --host arm-commonos-linux-gnueabi
make

and here is the tail end of the make output:

mv -f .deps/libavrdude_a-usbtiny.Tpo .deps/libavrdude_a-usbtiny.Po

make: *** [all] Error 2

my workaround is to manually edit the makefiles after the configure step to
point to the proper cross-compile ar.

./bootstrap
./configure --host arm-commonos-linux-gnueabi
sed -i 's|AR = ar|AR = arm-commonos-linux-gnueabi-ar|' Makefile*
make

I am on Ubuntu 10.04, automake version 1.11.1, avrdude version 5.11.0.  i am
not sure if this is a bug here, or in automake itself.  if you suspect the bug
is in automake, please let me know so i can bug them.
