Here's an interesting one - any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

ar -r libfw.a Event.o Time.o RegInfo.o StatInfo.o BasicDeviceRegistry.o
  BasicDevice.o Interface.o AddressSpace.o BreakpointList.o Tools.o
ranlib libfw.a
ranlib: libfw.a: Inappropriate file type or format

Am I missing something here? (the .o files are g++ output)

Thanks any and all...
