While building stage 1, the build system uses the `ar` for the target architecture instead of the `ar` for build/host architecture. The cause is a hack added in 24746fe78024a1edab843bc710c79c55998ab134 (2010), to supporting bootstrap compilers built with older versions of Xcode. Xcode 4.3 started installing command line tools in a different location. Assuming this all behind us now, and the paths didn't change again (you never now), we can delete the hack. Deleting the hack fixes the cross compilation issue. Tested by Trac user jakzale.
