Do an 'ar t' on the file to see what its contents are. You should see something like this: ar t /usr/X11R6/lib/libXau.a AuDispose.o AuFileName.o AuGetAddr.o AuGetBest.o AuLock.o AuRead.o AuUnlock.o AuWrite.o Perhaps you ran out of space when building. The X ports didn't used to complain of build errors until the install phase (its like they use make -k internally).
