It doesn't, unless you tell it.
One feature of GNU Make that helps in this matter is that you don't
have to specify the full pathname of a library if that library is one
of the standard ones, like libc.a. You can put "-lc" in the
dependencies, and Make will know where to look for the library.
GNU Make also knows about the format of the object libraries, so it
can check the date of every object file inside the library.
