Maren,

It appears that an ANSI C keyword (const)  has slipped into the cadef.h
header file. This may not allow traditional K&R C codes such as the 
archiver to compile. I fixed the problem here. You should be able to patch the 
problem there by changing all instances of "const" to "READONLY" in 
base/src/ca/cadef.h (installed into base/include/cadef.h).
It might also help to use different flags with acc in order to make it more
tollerent of current C.
