The problem is that QMAKE_AR is defined as "ar cqs" for the default linux mkspec, so we should replace that with "$(tc-getAR) cqs".
But on mac and solaris, QMAKE_AR is just "ar cq", and on mac ranlib is used to build the archive index.

So I don't know if we can assume that the 's' flag is always supported by $(tc-getAR)...
@prefix, can we assume that or not?

Darwin ar understands s (IIRC it even needs that one on x86/Darwin).  On Solaris we use GNU binutils, which understands s obviously.  So I'd say, using s is fine.
