make sure base system's ar is used

Building webkit-gtk3 with devel/binutils installed fails:

  CXXLD    libWTF.la
  CXXLD    Programs/LLIntOffsetsExtractor
/usr/bin/ld:./.libs/libWTF.a: file format not recognized; treating as linker
scr
/usr/bin/ld:./.libs/libWTF.a:1: syntax error
c++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
GNUmakefile:40531: recipe for target 'Programs/LLIntOffsetsExtractor' failed
gmake[2]: *** [Programs/LLIntOffsetsExtractor] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/www/webkit-gtk3/work/webkitgtk-2.4.7'
*** Error code 1

This is because GNU ar may create files which are not usable by the base
system's ld. The same issue was observed in chromium a while back
(ports/182682).
Attached patch contains the same fix as I submitted for chromium back then -
pointing the build system to the base system's ar via CONFIGURE_ENV.
