I built it sometime ago and just copied the file to bzip2\ from lib.
Basic library stuff on OS/2. .a suffix can be either static or import 
library, usually aout with .lib being OMF. _s.a is used for static and 
_dll.a for import library with lib once again used for OMF. The linker 
is smart enough usually to convert aout to OMF using emxomf if there is 
a mismatch, you can't go the other way. Some versions of libtool such as 
the default ones will only create one or another, other ports will 
create both static and import with the different suffixes or somewhere 
in between.
The linker prefers lib as the prefix but the library doesn't need it, 
this is for 8.3 name compatibility.
If you just dumped the sources in bzip2/, it probably built a static 
lib. Static lib is just basically all the objects files concated 
together with a table of contents.
