This is really more of a question for the binutils team than GNU make, but no, standard ar does not allow the members to be added to an archive to be anything other than object files. You cannot combine two archives with ar, directly, at least not with standard ar. I suppose some versions of ar might have an advanced capability to do this but I've never seen it. You can write a script yourself to do it, by using ar to explode one of the archives to its constituent object files in a temporary directory, then adding them to the other. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
