Hi Rofl,

Indeed, I can see the problem.

Can you please try the patch below?  It adds an autoconf check for ar and then passes
it as an environment variable to the Makefiles of doc/examples.

Note that the Makefiles in doc/examples are written by hand to be standalone on purpose,
so that one can easily copy them to bootstrap their project (at least that's what I
supposed).  This means that doc/examples/hello-static-lib/Makefile is not directly
influenced by the configure checks.  It will not pick up the right tools if you
run "make" directly in  doc/examples/hello-static-lib, but only if you run it from a
directory above.

Simon
