  1. Prefer -ar to -gcc-ar 

    As observed in cross-rs/cross#1100, in some
situations `*-gcc-ar` might actually be just broken.

I believe this is most likely just a plain bug in gcc (failing to
consider `--disable-lto` configuration option somewhere in their build
setup,) but for the time being `*-ar` tends to avoid this problem
altogether.

Code added in rust-lang#736 appears to be
preferring `*-gcc-ar`, but no strong rationale is given to prefer one
over the other. `*-gcc-ar` being outright broken sometimes seems like a
rationale strong enough to continue preferring binutils’ `ar`.
