If you're using a sufficiently new make you can, with $(eval ...).
define myrule
$($1_LIB) : $($($1_LIB)_OBJS)
@echo $$($1_LIB)_OBJS
$(value $(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $@ $(addprefix $(OBJ_DIR)/,$(notdir $?)))
enddef
...
$(eval $(call myrule,$(PACKAGE_NAME)))
Or, anyway, something like that. I just jotted this down off the top of my
head. See the GNU make docs for more info.
Cheers!
