Your first rule on the target is apparently attempting to delete the 
current archive (library) file and not finding it.  This (probably) 
produces a fatal error with 'make'.  Check the macro you define as 
ROOT, set equal to "../..".  You are probably not in the 
subdirectoy you want to be in when executing make.  You might want to 
re-think your strategy of using relative pathname addressing versus 
absolute pathname addressing.  How about setting ROOT to something 
like:  "<d>:/djgpp" where <d> is your drive letter?

I noticed too that you are including debugging information in your 
library (look at the '-g' flag you have set).  I rather thought 
libraries represented "mature", fully-tested code in most 
situations, and you would re-consider putting debug info in them.
