_______________________________________________________
Details:
When you ask VMS Make what features it supports, "archives" is in the list.
EAGLE> bash -c "echo '\$(info \$(.FEATURES))' | make -f- 2>/dev/null"
\target-specific order-only second-expansion else-if shortest-stem undefine
oneshell archives
%NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 00000002
When you run the features/archives test, it fails.

According to the readme.vms file, this support is not yet implemented.
Running the test driver on VMS requires patches that have not yet been
submitted.
I plan to implement archives support as part of the GNV merge, ticket #41611
in a way that is compatible with the VMS librarian utility.
Two other bugs are visible in this output and will be handled separately by
what should be minor fixes.
1. arv[0] is reported differently by VMS. A patch from one of the Bash
4.2.45, Coreutils 8.22, or gawk 4.1 ports should fix this.
2. Exit status is reported wrong. This same bug was recently fixed in GNU Awk
4.1 so a similar fix should work here.
