Trouble updating avr-binutils

[Jochen Kunz <jkunz%unixag-kl.fh-kl.de@localhost>]

Hi.

I am trying to update pkgsrc/cross/avr-* as these pkgs are outdated
beyond usefulness. Starting with the base dependency avr-binutils I run
into this problem when running "make":

[...]
i386--netbsdelf-ar rc ./libiberty.a \
          ./regex.o ./cplus-dem.o ./cp-demangle.o ./md5.o ./sha1.o ./alloca.o 
./argv.o ./choose-temp.o ./concat.o ./cp-demint.o ./dyn-string.o ./fdmatch.o 
./fibheap.o ./filename_cmp.o ./floatformat.o ./fnmatch.o ./fopen_unlocked.o 
./getopt.o ./getopt1.o ./getpwd.o ./getruntime.o ./hashtab.o ./hex.o 
./lbasename.o ./lrealpath.o ./make-relative-prefix.o ./make-temp-file.o 
./objalloc.o ./obstack.o ./partition.o ./pexecute.o ./physmem.o ./pex-common.o 
./pex-one.o ./pex-unix.o ./safe-ctype.o ./sort.o ./spaces.o ./splay-tree.o 
./strerror.o ./strsignal.o ./unlink-if-ordinary.o ./xatexit.o ./xexit.o 
./xmalloc.o ./xmemdup.o ./xstrdup.o ./xstrerror.o ./xstrndup.o  ./mempcpy.o 
./mkstemps.o ./stpcpy.o ./stpncpy.o ./strverscmp.o ./strncmp.o
gmake[2]: i386--netbsdelf-ar: Command not found
gmake[2]: *** [libiberty.a] Error 127

Somehow pkgsrc magels the environement so that ar(1) is not found. If I
compile binutils outside pkgsrc all I need to do is the usual:
./configure --program-prefix=avr- --target=avr && make && make install
to get it done. I studied The Pkgsrc Guide without finding a solution.
Looks like I am missing somthing essential about tool handling.
