In <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/ar_002eh.html>
you see that this header file is present on all platforms / operating systems
except mingw and BeOS. But no one has asked for its addition to gnulib,
not even the GNU 'make' maintainer.

Therefore you should report your problem to the 'bug-make' mailing list,
including the pieces of information that are necessary for a proper bug
report:
  1) What is your operating system?
  2) What steps have you done? "I am trying to install make" is too vague.
     List the commands that you executed.
  3) What results did you get? "I get an error saying that ar.h is not found"
     is too vague. Show the entire compilation log.

If the GNU 'make' maintainer then needs support from gnulib, he will come
back to us.

Bruno
