We are now running a new version of ar(1), essentially the System V/pdp11
one with minor local cleanup.  Apart from slightly better error messages
and the (largely useless) ability to handle V7 archives made on a VAX,
the changes should be invisible.

This is the first part of the switch to a more up-to-date C compiler.
