A library file is an archive of object (.o) files.  Do you want to 
create a library file or use the object files in the library?  To 
create a library, you must generate the .o files using gcc, like so:

  gcc -o file.o -c file.c

for each of your .c source files.  Then, use the ar program like so:

  ar rvc libmylib.a file.o ...

Once you've done this, to include these objects in your program, 
place the .a file in your lib directory (typically, c:\djgpp\lib) and 
compile your program like so:

  gcc -o myprog.exe myprog.c -lmylib

To view the assembly code that gcc produces use the -S switch, like 
so:

  gcc -S mycfile.c

You will have a file with an extension of .s in the current directory 
containing the assembly source.

Sorry, still playing catch-up.
