What's not "viable" about them?  Maybe if you tell us what you're trying
to build (if it's publicly available), or include a build log as an
attachment (or link to a pastebin), then someone could be more helpful.

That's not how to make a static library on any platform.  You need to
use ar and ranlib as in the makefile.
