D'oh, like in SysIII as quoted above. SUSv2 did also say that -l implies
-x, but (more clearly than AIX) not -L, though didn't specify what happened
when the -s limit is reached. HP/UX man page has similar wording as in
SUSv2.

BTW, may be worth noting that:

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -r -0 -p -n 1 ar -r arch

is more or less equivalent (except potentially for the overall exit status)
to:

find . -type f -ok ar -r arch {} ';'

(might be worth adding a ! -path ./arch as well).
