It's because of this line: RANLIb = ranlib See that lower-case `b' at the end of `RANLIb'? This leaves the variable $(RANLIB) (with the upper-case `B') undefined, i.e. empty, and then the command in this rule: $(BIB): $(ELTS) $(RANLIB) $@ expands into " libsfl.a". The leading blanks are stripped, and the rest is history, as they say ;-).
