Even if the static library is PIC, and the OS is happy to load and run 
the result, there is a common problem with this approach since if more 
than one shared library is linked with the static library, and these 
two shared libraries are used in the same program, there are likely to 
be duplicate symbol conficts or semi-random operation.  The problem 
becomes worse if multiple versions of the static library were used.
