It is not a problem really for either machine, just a difference. Actually, there a two differences; one between UNIX and DOS; the other between UNIX to APPLE transfers. UNIX sends the LF instead of CR, that part is true. The other part is that UNIX uses POSITIVE-ASCII that is, the high-order bit is set. APPLE DOS uses NEGATIVE-ASCII, high-order bit off. There is a big difference. The high-set of ASCII on an APPLE ar command tokens. The alterations in the UNIX environment will not help, this needs to be done solely on the receiving APPLE.
