Possible?  Sure --  but it still wouldn't be a good idea, and you can't 
use libtool to do it.  See the very next thread on this mailing list: 
"Re: self contained library" and read the comments.  Plus, there was a 
discussion of this very issue last week on the libtool list, as well.

by hand, without using libtool.  But, it won't be portable.
