 Maybe we can simply remove 'l' from ${ARFLAGS} in all cases.
 
 It looks 'l' flag in binutils ar has been no-op since it was imported
 into the NetBSD tree (as binutils 2.1)  before NetBSD 1.4:
  https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/netbsd-1-4/gnu/dist/binutils/ar.1#L405-L406
 
 The 'l' option seems used as 'undocumented' to set temporary directory
 in 4.xBSD derived a.out ar(1):
  https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/netbsd-1-2/usr.bin/ar/ar.c#L119-L120
  https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/netbsd-1-2/usr.bin/ar/misc.c#L78-L81
