I cannot reproduce this problem.  Your Makefile works for me, after I
correct the mistake in the last command, so it says this:

	ar rvs libmain.a $@

But even with the original command, I don't get the "No rule"
message.  So some other problem seems to be at work here.  Are you
sure you posted the exact Makefile and the exact description of the
problem?
