First, this has nothing to do with make.  Make just runs programs; it's
not responsible for creating libraries.  It runs some program (ar) that
creates libraries.  If libraries are growing, you need to look at ar,
not make.

Are you, perhaps, invoking ar with the "q" option?  See the ar(1) man page.


HTH!
