Hmmm... that sounds reasonable...what do I need to do to enable this behavior?

Ah, but not really.  I need to build both static and shared libraries.  I just
use PIC objects in the static library so I only need to compile each object
file once.  I happen to know for my two platforms that the objects are
identical.  I just need a way to tell libtool the same thing.  I know this
might not be the most platform independent behavior (I assume for some
platforms that PIC objects and libtool objects could be different and in some
way incompatible).

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks both of you for the quick responses.
