Shareable image libraries do not yet work, there are a couple of problems:

$ cre o.c
o(){}
[ Exit ]
$ mc [.make]make -f-"
all:o.olb(o.exe)
[ Exit ]
cc    o.c
link  o.obj    /exe=o.exe
library /replace o.olb o.exe
%LIBRAR-E-RECTYP, illegal record type (176) in module  in

make: *** [o.olb(o.exe)] Error 0x1086813a
make: *** Archive member 'o.olb(o.exe)' may be bogus; not deleted

rm o.exe

Hmm, o.olb is still an object library:
$ pipe libr/list o |search sys$pipe "Directory
Directory of OBJECT library SYS$SYSDEVICE:[HARTMUT]O.OLB;1 on
1-MAY-2014 18:53:12
$

So I removed the '@'s to see what kind of library is created:
$ del o.obj;*,o.olb;*
...

The last one is the match. That's no what I expected, although the image
library has a type of .OLB;

Anyway,

$ library/CREATE/EXE o.olb
%DCL-W-IVQUAL, unrecognized qualifier - check validity, spelling, and
placement
 \EXE\
$

Should be /share
$ library/CREATE/share o.olb

That's OK and expected.

But not all intermediate files should be removed: for an image library
the shareable images must not be removed.

What follows it the same as above, but now with an implicit rule for
building shareable images and an existing shareable image library:
