Here's the pertinent part of my local library makefile.  I use GNU Make.

CC=gcc
CFLAGS =	-O -Wall
UNIX_L =	/usr/lib/libcain.a
OBJECTS =	parse nx_wk_dy strmem calcsecs asc_date \
			now scandate scantime crctab chkenv \
			getarg addext fullname qsort ssearch

all:	$(foreach o, $(OBJECTS), $o.o)
	ar r $(UNIX_L) $?

You may wish to use "module.o" instead of "module" in the variable assignment
and drop the foreach.  I only use it because the full file compiles the modules
for DOS at the same time.
