Follow-up Comment #1:

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): New macro, detect the
        interface used by the archiver. In particullar, add the AR_SEP
        variable to allow archivers that does not allow a space between
        the options to create an archive and the archive name and the
        ar_extract_one_by_one variable which indicates if the archiver
        can extract all members in one go.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4: Add $AR_SEP between $AR_FLAGS and the
        archive file name in all $AR commands.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_extract_an_archive): Add support
        for archivers that only supports extracting one member at a time
        and otherwise adjust to the above libtool.m4 changes. Also, add
        $AR_SEP to the $AR invocations.
        * Makefile.am: Pass AR, AR_FLAGS and AR_SEP through to the
        testsuite.
        * tests/archive-in-archive.at: Extract archive name from the .la
        file instead of hardcodeing the name, and allow different archivers.
