As a quick answer, you ought to be able to set ARFLAGS to what you need 
- that mechanism supports changing the flags as necessary (and in fact, 
some tool modules already do this depending on the compiler in user - 
Sun and SGI environments, neither of which are likely to be helpful to you).

Roughly:

env = Environment()
env['ARFLAGS'] = "-rc"

Believe you need to set it after environment creation because the "ar" 
tool seems to set it unconditionally.
