1) The make system says "Checking status of libXXX.a" and then just sits there.  What
can I do ?

The first thing to do whenever a problem arises from the make system is to run with
the "SILENT=no" option.

In this case, 'though, first check that the clocks on the machine on which you are 
editing files and the clock on the machine you are compiling on are synchronised.  If
the compilation machine's clock is slow, then the newly made dependency files will
still be `older' than the file you edited, and the system will loop until this 
situation changes.
