This problem will occur on any system which supports sub-second
timestamps. It happens because the filesystem reports that the .o file
has a timestamp of S seconds plus NS nanoseconds, but the archive format
for libraries stores only second timestamps for the archive members, so
the libTest.a(testProg.o) archive timestamp is just S seconds, which is
less than S + NS, so the archive member always appears older than the .o
file and is always rebuilt.
I'll think about how to fix this; in the meantime you can reconfigure
make with the --disable-nsec-timestamps option to configure and rebuild,
and that should avoid this problem.
