I meant to send my reply to the whole lot of you but MUTT only sent it to
Jeff.

All this
cpio-versus-tar-and-will-autoconf-one-day-figure-out-my-preference-in-coffee
stuff is not needed. Append this line to the end of config/i386/t-sco5:
TAROUTOPTS=xpf

Alternately, fix TAROUTOPTS in makefile.in to remove the B flag. It
is NOT portable, but *EVERY* tar understands xpf, even the DOS ones.

My $0.02 worth, fix Makefile.in.  Its wrong.
