Yes, that is why I used the environment variable, all binutils work
with that.  There was no --target option in GNU ar before 2.22.

I use binutils 2.30
It does not understand --target option.

$ powerpc-linux-ar --version
GNU ar (GNU Binutils) 2.30

If I give --target=elf$(BITS)-$(GNUTARGET) option, I see this:
powerpc-linux-ar: -t: No such file or directory

You need to provide a valid command line, like

$ powerpc-linux-ar tv smth.a --target=elf32-powerpc

ar is a bit weird.

Ah, I see!

I had missed the space being required.

Since I cannot test old binutils,
I will leave this to ppc people.
