ar is in /usr/ccs/bin.  You should have /usr/ccs/bin in your PATH if you
intend on doing development work or building programs (like Lynx) from
source.

That's because the ar command is supposed to create it.

I haven't seen "make platform" used to build Lynx in quite some time - "sh
configure && make" does the trick now.  Be sure you have the most up-to-date
sources (2.8.3) from http://lynx.isc.org/release/.
