The precise reason is, that we (have to) enable KEEPOBJS. I hadn't realized 
this before, but the Library rule either keeps the library's object files 
or makes the library a dependency of the `lib' pseudo target. However, this 
should be of interest only for the static libs distributed with the system. 
The others are built when needed, anyway.
