This was generated from the following line in readline/Makefile.in:
        $(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $@ $(OBJECTS)

'cr' is a set of flags for the archiver command ar(1) which is included in
the GNU binutils and should be available on any Un*x system that's
configured for software building.

As a workaround, you could try if "cd readline && make AR=ar" finishes
building readline.

A proper fix would involve finding out why AR was set to an empty value
(e.g. "cd readlien && ./configure -v", then examine both the output of the
configure script and the config.log file that's generated).

HTH,
