Yes. This line is bad. I'm pretty sure that line should use the 'ar' command,
which configure checks for and since you got a 'false' there I suspect that
configure didn't find the 'ar' command and that the configure script is
slightly crippled and doesn't take proper notice. Do you have a working 'ar'
in your $PATH? You can manually edit the lib/Makefile (after configure has
run) and modify the "AR = " line to fix, in case you can't convince configure
that you do.

I'll make a fix for configure for the upcoming release to better alert the
user when this situation occurs.
