It's not a question of different switches, you need to use another
program: `ar', instead of `ld' or `gcc'.

Assuming that you have object files file1.o, file2.o and file3.o,
here's how you put them into a library called libmyfiles.a:

       ar rvs libmyfiles.a file1.o file2.o file3.o

`ar' comes with documentation, type "info binutils ar" from the DOS
prompt to read about ity.
