I force-pushed my own version of this (that works
with-single-library=0).  The only difference in the overlap was use of
FAST_AR_FLAGS vs AR_FLAGS.  Is that safe/correct in general when
creating the entire archive in one shot, as opposed to incrementally?  I
also delete the old archive if it existed, before running AR again.

Removing this would let us delete a bunch of code.  Was my suggestion
for using the full source names sufficient?
