I am happily using binutils-2.0 version of ar and ld on a sparc
running 4.1.3 and I'd like to move my environment over to a
Dec 5000/240 running ultrix 4.3.  Gcc and gdb are running no problem.
However,  I can't get ar to produce a working version.  The configuration
script doesn't produce a makefile in the binutils subdirectory.  After
hande compiling ar use the Makefile.in I get a version of ar that runs
but produces archive files that consist of the ascii line
!<arch>

Any ideas?
	Thanks in advance
