Details:

Philipp Wolski <address@hidden> reported in
https://bugs.debian.org/904749 that make sometimes fails to see archive
members.

A simple example is:

# BEGIN
default: foo.a(looooooooooooong)

(%): %
        ar rU $@ $%

looooooooooooong:
        touch $@
# END

make will always want to remake the archive member because ar_scan() doesn't
consider its name to be valid.

I've attached a patch that fixes this example; I will ask Philip to test it as
well.
