Chris,

Mmm i have to learn to be a bit more clear about the problem i have :)

The tagets are static libs also, the same as the overall target " nedb"

lib interface :        aap.c    :      <link>static ;
lib rdbms :        noot.c    :      <link>static ;

So constructing a archive from other archives without a non archive target
as source is not working in this case.

A possible solution is to make from "lib nedb"  "alias nedb" one of the
reasons is that during linking all archives are put as source if nedb is
type lib.  Link line holds "nedb.a" but also "interface.a" and "rdbms.a"
