libparrot.a isn't even the right name on Windows, and the target itself
isn't portable. On Windows with a Microsoft toolkit, you use a program
called 'lib' to make .lib files:

I haven't used 'lib' myself, so I can't really give you much usage
information. Sorry. My best guess is that the right command would be
lib -out:libparrot$(A) $(O_FILES)
assuming $(A) were appropriately defined.
