The right thing to do (I'll do it) is to put a definition of SOCKLEN_T
into the OS/os.h-SCO file.

It would be possible to put
AR=gar
into OS/Makefile-SCO, but I'm slightly wary about this because I'm not
clear from your message whether gar will always be available on SCO
systems. Can you clarify?
Even without any change, you can always put
AR=gar
into your Local/Makefile; you do not need to edit the main Makefile.
