OK, I feel stupid now. I tested snapshots periodically and gave up on
one check error I could not fix, and I see where it is now (but it's
still there). Probably due to the libtool hack. Every 'make check'
uses the -installed- versions of the shared libraries - or just fails
if nothing with the right soname is installed.
spawn /mnt/faur3/home/dan/binutils-2.9.5.0.10/builddir-single/binutils/ar rc

$ file ar

$ head ar
#! /bin/sh
# ar - temporary wrapper script for .libs/ar

So apparently the libtool scripts fail.
