(Hmmm... does anybody read this list any more? Or am I sending to the wrong place?)

In the sample Jambase provided in 2.2, the $(AR) program is invoked sometimes with $(ARFLAGS), sometimes without. Because of this, it's more effecitve to put the flags in $(AR) itself.

BTW, to handle multiple architectures, I've added a SetArch rule in my Jamrules, which switch's off of the specified architecure, and chooses my code generation tools. It seemed like the moral equivalent of the SubDirCcFlags, and has worked for me (so far).
