Yes, there is still nothing like that in gnulib-tool, am I right? I mean
dependency among configure.ac-early snippets -- those seem to be all just
sorted by name (by 'LANG=C sort -u').
Would you consider something like this as acceptable?
diff --git a/gnulib-tool b/gnulib-tool
index ec82f35..f5bddbb 100755

I don't like that TBH, but if we planned to make the gl_PROG_AR_RANLIB
part of some module (and add some ordering into early snippets), this
would be enough for the meantime.

Yes. That should help gnulib projects with the 'ar' warning issue in
F22+. The AM_PROG_AR incompatibility may be fixed later..
