Subj: 	how do I make a library?

Hi,

I can't seem to build a working libfoo.a.  The build proceeds to completion
without error, but nm can't make sense of the .a that comes out the other
end.  (Backed against ptliteos.nightly, btw) -- I get this:

%nm foo.a
Warning: Symbol table header magic is 0x0

libmld: init_ldfile:non-mips symbol table 0
Assertion failed: LSYMHEADER(ldptr)->pcfd = 
(pCFDR)calloc(cbCFDR,LPHDR(ldptr)->ifdMax), file 
../../../../../../src/usr/ccs/lib/libmld/ldfcn.c, line 327
Abort process (core dumped)

I have no idea what that business with ldfcn.c is, its not one of my files.

here's the Makefile:

LIBRARIES   = libfoo.a
EXPLIB_TARGETS  = export_libfoo.a
EXPDIR      = /usr/ccs/lib
ILIST       = libfoo.a

OFILES      = fsent.o realpath.o

fsent_CARGS     = -threads

include ${MAKEFILEPATH}/standard.mk
include ${MAKEFILEPATH}/libs.mk
include ${MAKEFILEPATH}/objects.mk

any hints would be appreciated.... :-)
