Comment (by duncan):

 Ok so here's a technique that should work:

  * For non-OSX, use the same behaviour as we always did (ie up to and
 including Cabal-1.6)
  * For OSX when we have to use ar multiple times (e.g. when doing split-
 objs) we call @ar -q@ for the initial calls and for the final call use @ar
 -q -s at .

 I've had it confirmed that this works on OSX, it supports duplicates and
 creates the index.

   * Use new Program.Ld and Program.Ar in GHC module

   * Add specialised modules for handling ar and ld
 }}}

 Now needs testing.
