Problem with the "ar" command (configure)

Hi,We are trying to run CESM on a machine where the archiver to be used is called "x86_64-cos6-linux-gnu-ar" instead of the generic "ar".As a result it is not recognized correctly when building since the test is always something like:# ARCHIVE COMMAND SIMILAR ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS
if test -z "$AR"; then
    AR="ar cq"
fi(for example in cime/src/externals/mct/configure).We tried to define AR in the config_compilers.xml (x86_64-cos6-linux-gnu-ar) but that does not solve the problem.Is there a way to make the configuration files more useable on different plateforms, perhaps with a less restrictive test?Regards,Jean
