Almost :-)

In the backends I already created static convenience libraries, so the last 
question is how do I create a static libopendbx(.a) file automatically using 
the static convenience libraries of the backends and a static libopendbx 
(convenience) library?

I could easily write:

lib_LTLIBRARIES = libopendbx.la liboendbx-static.la

libopendbx_static_la_SOURCES =  odbxlib.c odbxlib.h odbx.c odbxdrv.h
libopendbx_static_la_CFLAGS = @PKGCFLAGS@
libopendbx_static_a_CPPFLAGS = -DODBX_STATIC
libopendbx_static_a_LDFLAGS = -static
libopendbx_static_a_LIBADD = $(top_builddir)/backends/mysql/libmysqlstatic.la

But that would create two separate libraries (libopendbx and 
libopendbx-static) instead of building libopendbx (only with that name) in a 
shared and static version.

That was the main point I never found in the docs.
