Thanks for forwarding this to us.  The class is very simple and just does:

PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS += " AR=${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc-ar \
RANLIB=${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc-ranlib"

That's quite an abuse of PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS, I'd recommend just
setting AR and RANLIB directly in the class, they'll override the
defaults in bitbake.conf.

That however leads to the question of should we just change the
defaults? Does anything break if we use gcc-ar instead of ar?
