ld.so never sees static libraries. You also cannot link static library
code into shared libraries. Static libraries, just like .zip, .jar
and .mpeg files are not things that come up in shlib construction or
linking in any sane environment.

As a matter of fact, as far as I am concerned, you can do pretty much
anything you want with static libraries. Just please keep the shlib
situation nice, sane and working 8-)
