It is certainly worth a try.  Change it in your local copy and see if libtool 
fails any additional tests.  Provided the archive_cmds setting is confined to 
a $host switch, it won't break any other supported architectures.

Thanks for the comments.  I'm happy to change SCO archive_cmds if you find 
that it works correctly.  I am worried that you might trigger some of the 
problems that instigated the multi-language-branch, if you find that changing 
to $CC explicitly is a problem for you, then you could try an mlb snapshot, 
and we'll aim to fix SCO for libtool-1.5?

Cheers,
        Gary.
