You create/manipulate libraries (archives) with the 'ar' program. If
you've installed the info files, try "info ar".

Briefly, if you have files a.c, b.c, and c.c, which compile into a.o,
b.o, and c.o, and you wish to make your own library "libabc.a" you do
this by:

	ar rv libabc.a a.o b.o c.o

and link your program "x.c" against that library:

	cc -o x x.c -labc
