With Solaris the GNU-tools traditionally have a name beginning with the letter
"g".If the GNU tools but not the Solaris development tools are installed a build
is not possible, because ar does not exist (and GNU ar is called gar) but is
hardcoded in "top.mk" the following patch will add a search for a "ar" tool in
configure.

  dnl we can find it.  If we can't find a tar, it doesn't really matter.
  AC_CHECK_PROGS(AMTAR, gnutar gtar tar)
+ dnl We also need to check for the correct ar command
+ AC_CHECK_PROGS(AR, ar gar)
  dnl We need awk for the "check" target.  The system "awk" is bad on
  dnl some platforms.
