Compile Error on Git 2.0.1 on Redhat 5.9 with Fix

When compiling Git 2.0.1 on RedHat 5.9 as a non-root user I get the following error:

BUILD ERROR

```
make prefix=/home/eldon/local all doc info
...
    CC zlib.o
    CC unix-socket.o
    CC thread-utils.o
    CC compat/strlcpy.o
    AR libgit.a
/bin/sh: gar: command not found
make: *** [libgit.a] Error 127
```

My fix was to make a symlink below:

SYMLINK

``` gar -> /usr/bin/ar ```

LINUX VERSION

```

Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseClient
Release:        5.9
```

I think the fix is to allow the use of "ar" if "gar" does not exist. I don't know if this exists for every Redhat install but "gar" is not available in /usr/bin but "ar" does.

```

It could just be my corporate install of RedHat that is weird, but thought this might be at least a point to describe a fix.

``` gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54) Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ```
