What you've produced isn't what is traditionally know as a library. Even
though you called it libcomm.a, it's actually an object file. The linker
basically always produces object files. Executables are basically a
special type of object file where there are no unresolved references.

If you happen to have Cygwin installed, and you run the 'file' command
on the libcomm.a file, it will report something like this:

        libcomm.a: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, version 1 (SYSV), not
stripped

Whereas, if you create it this way:

        avr-ar r libtest.a foo.o

And then run the file command on libtest.a, you'll get:

        avr-ar r libtest.a foo.o
