When using the following makefile on a sun4-os4, sun make and gnumake
differ dramatically.  There probably is another way of archiving
libraries in gnumake (without the unnecessary compilation), but what's
going wrong here?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#makefile
CC = cc

OBJS = foo.o foo1.o


LIB_OBJS = lib.a(foo.o) \
	lib.a(foo1.o) 

lib.a: $(LIB_OBJS)
	ranlib lib.a 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* foo.c */
foo()
{
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* foo1.c */
foo1()
{
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
