Autotools: configure AR program

Some distros may use target-specific prefix for ar program (like
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar). Automake can handle that since version 1.12.

Since we still support automake 1.8 (not that it is really crucial,
but ubuntu 12.04 ships with automake 1.11.3), make the code
conditional.

Update a bit the gitignore files (automake creates some files in config/).

Based on a patch from Nikolay Orlyuk <virkony@gmail.com>.
