Under macOS at least, `ar rc` on an empty list of files produces an archive
with no table of contents, which triggers an error when linked.

With `ar rcs`, we force the creation of a table of contents.  macOS prints
a warning, but the resulting archive causes no errors during linking.

The `s` option to `ar` is specified as "an XSI extension" in
IEEE Std 1003.1-2017, but seems supported by all the toolchains we care about.

The call to `ar rc` in utils/ccomp.ml is unchanged because the list
of object files is never empty, and IEEE Std 1003.1 says that `ar rc`
must create a symbol table in this case.
