Issue: sci-libs/cdf-3.8.0 calls ar directly.
Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: ci)

NOTE:
This machine uses GCC-11: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-11/porting_to.html
As per QA policy, toolchain tools must not be called directly because they can cause issue in cross-compiling and because is not possible use a different AR implementation (like llvm-ar). To reproduce, please use sys-devel/gcc-config[-native-symlinks], sys-devel/binutils-config[-native-symlinks].

    sci-libs/cdf: fully respect AR, CC
    
    We were calling AR directly but also 'gcc'
    as LD. Let's just use $(tc-getCC) as LD
    given that's now the recommended way to
    call the linker, and indeed, we use
    incompatible arguments for ld anyway.
