Sure. You should check out the information on 'ar' in info.

but briefly, given three object files a.o, b.o,and c.o with which you
want to build a library, you'd do it like this:

	ar rvs mylib.a a.o b.o c.o

the first time you do this (i.e., if mylib.a doesn't exist yet) you
could do:

	ar crvs mylib.a a.o b.o c.o
