I don't think so --- certainly there are no changes in template/unixware
or makefiles/Makefile.unixware, which is where you'd expect to find any
platform-specific stuff. The ar command being complained of looks
pretty standard, if old-fashioned ... also, I'm pretty sure that similar
commands appear in the main build, long before you get to contrib.
Weird...
