Remember that these are Unix tools, so they have (from the point of
view of a DOS/Windows programmer) funny names.

Under Unix a library is called an 'archive', and the tool that manipulates
them is called 'ar', appropriately.

Check in the info program (you did install info when you installed
DJGPP, didn't you?) for the docs on ar.

In brief, though, you can make an ar archive (off the top o'me head
here, so please 'scuse me if I pull a boner), given files a.o, b.o
and c.o, you could do something like:

	ar -rv libmy.a a.o b.o c.o

then when you want to compile programs that use that lib, you would do:

	gcc prog.c -lmy
