If your source files are foo1.c and foo2.c,
I would do something like this in the top level Construct file:

$env=new cons();
Link 'backbone/IRIX' => 'backbone/src';
@obj=Objects $env 'backbone/src/foo1.c', 'backbone/src/foo2.c';
Library $env myLib.a, @obj;
Install $env Lib/IRIX, myLib.a; 

Cheers.
