Comment (by duncan):

 So it looks like we should be using the flags `as -r -s -c` on all
 platforms. According to the GNU, Solaris and OSX man pages these flags are
 ok. The mingw version of `ar` also seems to support them.

 The only reason to use the `-q` flag appears to be if we're having to call
 `ar` many times due to command line length limitations, in which case the
 first time we should use `-q -c`, the intermediate times `-q` and the
 final time `-r -s`.
