Hmm.  It sounds like configure is not selecting the right template file,
because both template/sunos4_cc and template/sunos4_gcc contain "AROPT:cr".

I think you need to run configure with "--with-template=sunos4_cc"
(or gcc if you prefer) to force it to use the right template.  A lot
of your other problems might go away too ;-).

You might want to look at config.guess and try to figure out why that's
not detecting sunos4 to begin with.  Hard to believe that that's
broken...
