Make into archive in XENIX

[Hendrik Vermooten]

Hi, all.

When I use the Makefile (listed below) under XENIX, it compiles modules
that have changed twice. For instance, if I "touch strvalid.c" and then
type "make -n", I get:

  cc -c -O strvalid.c
  ar rv c.a strvalid.o
  rm -f strvalid.o
  cc -c -O strvalid.c
  ar rv c.a strvalid.o
  cp c.a /lib/386/SlibC.a
  ranlib /lib/386/SlibC.a
  rm -f strvalid.o

Am I doing something wrong? TFM doesn't shed any light! [Yes, the
appropriate lines DO start with tabs: I just took them out in the posting]
