Perhaps you could provide a little more information on the scenario, mainly what the directory structure looks like that you are trying to archive.

How good is the compression rate of gzip when you use tar with the gzip option? I am pretty amazed that a 1 GB file was reduced to 1019K. This is what I did.

ldaclose
ldclose(3) Library Functions Manual ldclose(3)
NAME
ldclose, ldaclose - close a common object file
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
#include <filehdr.h>
#include <syms.h>
#include <ldfcn.h>
int ldclose (ldptr)
LDFILE *ldptr;
int ldaclose (ldptr)
LDFILE *ldptr;
DESCRIPTION
ldopen(3) and ldclose provide uniform access to simple object files and object files that are members of archive files. An archive of com-
mon object files can be processed as if it is a series of simple common object files.
If TYPE(ldptr) does not represent an archive file, ldclose closes the file and frees the memory allocated to the LDFILE structure associ-
ated with ldptr. If TYPE(ldptr) is the magic number for an archive file and if archive has more files, ldclose reinitializes OFFSET(ldptr)
to the file address of the next archive member and returns FAILURE. The LDFILE structure is prepared for a later ldopen(3). In all other
cases, ldclose returns SUCCESS.
ldaclose closes the file and frees the memory allocated to the LDFILE structure associated with ldptr regardless of the value of
TYPE(ldptr). ldaclose always returns SUCCESS. The function is often used with ldaopen.
The program must be loaded with the object file access routine library
libmld.a.
