Well, that is interesting, running the test at all is a bit of a  
waste of time then :(

It does fail with the AT_XFAIL_IF removed (at least on darwin), one  
static archive remains as a member of another. Still, it is an  
improvement on two. I wanted to XFAIL it until I had the time to fix  
it. Oh well. AT_XFAIL_IF([:]) or equivalent is still needed.
