I see two solutions here: shorten the file names (possibly
prefered) or include the t flag.
Questions: does are fail or warn without the t flag? How can
we determine if a particular OS supports ar -t in a non-os-dependent
manner? (I realize you could just check to see if ar returns a
non-zero xit status when given the -t flag, but are there any OSes
where ar -t works but does something we don't expect or desire?)

This was fixed by not including malloc.h, which was never
used.

There is a configure test we wrote for NetBSD that should
detect this and define the appropriate symbols. I would appreciate if
you could look at configure or aclocal.m4 and determine why this test
fails on BSDI.
