I grabbed those yesterday and hope to make this build under Linux. 
Unfortunately, there are many hard-wired assumptions regarding storage 
size so it's going to be a bit tedious.

There is a pair of precompiled 'ar' binaries for Linux, but since they are 
built for an ancient version of libc only the statically linked one is 
useful.
