[ptxdist] [PATCH] configure.ac: Check for GNU ar

[Bernhard Walle <bernhard@bwalle.de>]

To build the ipk packages, we need the 'f' flag which is a GNU extension:

-{ ar(1) }----------------------------------------------------------------------

   f   Truncate names in the archive.  GNU ar will normally permit file names
       of any length. This will cause it to create archives which are not
       compatible with the native ar program on some systems.  If this is a
       concern, the f modifier may be used to truncate file names when putting
       them in the archive.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
