Well, my work is part of a very big project. We have around 1000 C/C++
files. Among these files
there are 317 generated C files. When I tried to link all files, I got "Arg
list too long".
I decided so to create an archive including the 317 generated files but got
an error due to "pmaker"
(it is imposed to use pmaker. I cannot even control how it is called as it
is part of a big project --
I need just to list the files to compile). I don't know exactly why this
error happened.
After searching unsuccesfully for the info related to AIX, I decided to
create 4 archives for
the generated files (the first 3, let's say lib1.a, lib2.a and lib3.a,
contains 100 files each and the
last one, lib4.a, 17). But at link, it said that function F1 used in lib2.a
is not found. F1 is in
lib1.a and it can used a function in the other archives (that's why I said
"cyclic dependencies").

Now I try to put every archive twice as the following and I am able to
link.

LINK_LINE = \
..... \
lib1.a \
lib2.a \
lib3.a \
lib4.a \
lib1.a \
lib2.a \
lib3.a \
lib4.a \
.....

No, I will try !
