Daniel/Michael, thanks for help. I have pointed the ar to the correct path
in my environment. Now i have moved to the point where configure fails to
guess the build type.
==========================================
config.guess timestamp = 2009-04-27

uname -m = Intel Pentium ☺
uname -r = version 5.1 Service Pack 2 (Build 2600) ☺
uname -s = Microsoft Windows XP Workstation ☺
uname -v = unknown ☺

/usr/bin/uname -p = x86 ☺
/bin/uname -X =

hostinfo =
/bin/universe =
/usr/bin/arch -k =
/bin/arch =
/usr/bin/oslevel =
/usr/convex/getsysinfo =

UNAME_MACHINE = Intel Pentium
UNAME_RELEASE = version 5.1 Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
UNAME_SYSTEM = Microsoft Windows XP Workstation
UNAME_VERSION = unknown
configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
==========================================
