I got this error also..  I think it's a bug within ar  (and makelib too)
..

I had to use the version 1 ar.exe with the -M command.. I then manually
typed in all the files to be put into the archive (err, library..)
I then added the tables with an ar -s command.  (Ranlib also gave an odd
bug...)  I had to use the -M and do it by hand because the version 1
(go32 version) seemed to have a problem with the number of object
files on the command line...  (redoing all my environmental variables
to support go32 again wasnt very fun.. ;) )
Anyway.. it worked.. and I haven't had any problems with the library
at all...

The error I got from ar.exe from the djgpp 2.0 distribution was an
"Illegal Operation"..  I believe it was the same thing for makelib..
Although it's been a couple weeks since I made the lib.. so I could have
forgotten..

Anyway.. hope I helped someone identify whatever the error is..
