Did, as part of the process of creating the library, all the files get 
stripped of their debug info?

For instance, using a GDB build:

	$  objdump -h gdb/libgdb.a

outputs a long list of object files, each file containing sections like:

	.stab*

or

	.debug*

If they are missing the files were likely stripped.

(just guessing mind)
