Currently, this Makefile hardcodes GNU ar, meaning that if it is not
available, there is no way to supply a different one and the build will
fail.
$ make AR=llvm-ar CC=clang LD=ld.lld HOSTAR=llvm-ar HOSTCC=clang \
HOSTLD=ld.lld HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld defconfig modules_prepare
...
AR /out/tools/objtool/libsubcmd.a
/bin/sh: 1: ar: not found
...
Follow the logic of HOST{CC,LD} and allow the user to specify a
different ar tool via HOSTAR (which is used elsewhere in other
tools/ Makefiles).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
