That's because this:

> cgixx/cgi++/jusutil/Makefile.am
> INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir)/cgi++
> METASOURCES = AUTO
> noinst_HEADERS = NOT-MENTIONED
> lib_LIBRARIES = libcgixx-jsutil.a
> libcgixx_jsutil_a_SOURCES = NOT-MENTIONED
> libcgixx_jsutil_a_LIBADD = $(top_builddir)/cgi++/libcgixx.la

only builds libcgixx-jsutil.a, not libcgixx-jsutil.la.
If you want a static library here, then drop the .a and use

  lib_LIBRARIES = libcgixx-jsutil.la
  libcgixx_jsutil_la_SOURCES = NOT-MENTIONED
  libcgixx_jsutil_la_LDFLAGS = -static
  libcgixx_jsutil_la_LIBADD = $(top_builddir)/cgi++/libcgixx.la

instead; and here:

> cgixx/src/MakeFile.am
[...]
> cgixx_LDADD = $(top_builddir)/cgi++/jsutil/libcgixx-jsutil.a \
>       $(top_builddir)/cgi++/libcgixx.la 
> $(top_builddir)/cgi++/jsutil/libcgixx-jsutil.la

please drop the .a entry.

Cheers,
Ralf
