Comment (by duncan):
Ok so here's a technique that should work:
* For non-OSX, use the same behaviour as we always did (ie up to and
including Cabal-1.6)
* For OSX when we have to use ar multiple times (e.g. when doing split-
objs) we call @ar -q@ for the initial calls and for the final call use @ar
-q -s@.
I've had it confirmed that this works on OSX, it supports duplicates and
creates the index.
