Yes sorry.

I'm sure it possible and I'm currently missing something.  I don't use
autotools, I just use libtool manually, as explained in the
documentation.

I attached my Makefile, I hope this mailing-list doesn't get rid of
MIME attachement.

Here is the output with libtool-1.4.3 :
%%%
    droopy:Sitalibs-C$ make
    libtool --mode=compile cc -c  -W -Werror -Wall -std=c99 -posix -g -o 
socket.o socket.c
    rm -f .libs/socket.lo
    cc -c -W -Werror -Wall -std=c99 -posix -g socket.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o socket.o
    mv -f socket.o .libs/socket.lo
    cc -c -W -Werror -Wall -std=c99 -posix -g socket.c -o socket.o >/dev/null 
2>&1
    mv -f .libs/socket.lo socket.lo
    libtool --mode=compile cc -c  -W -Werror -Wall -std=c99 -posix -g -o strl.o

    rm -f .libs/strl.lo

    mv -f strl.o .libs/strl.lo
    cc -c -W -Werror -Wall -std=c99 -posix -g strl.c -o strl.o >/dev/null 2>&1
    mv -f .libs/strl.lo strl.lo
    libtool --mode=link cc -o libsitalibs.a socket.o strl.o Makefile -static
    ar cru libsitalibs.a socket.o strl.o  
    ranlib libsitalibs.a
    libtool --mode=link cc -o libsitalibs.la socket.lo strl.lo Makefile 
-version-number 1 -rpath /usr/lib
    rm -fr .libs/libsitalibs.la .libs/libsitalibs.* .libs/libsitalibs.*
    gcc -shared  socket.lo strl.lo   -Wl,-soname -Wl,libsitalibs.so.0 -o 
.libs/libsitalibs.so.0.0.0
    (cd .libs && rm -f libsitalibs.so.0 && ln -s libsitalibs.so.0.0.0 
libsitalibs.so.0)
    (cd .libs && rm -f libsitalibs.so && ln -s libsitalibs.so.0.0.0 
libsitalibs.so)
    ar cru .libs/libsitalibs.a  socket.o strl.o 
    ranlib .libs/libsitalibs.a
    creating libsitalibs.la
    (cd .libs && rm -f libsitalibs.la && ln -s ../libsitalibs.la libsitalibs.la)
%%%


And the output with libtool-1.5.6 :
%%%
    libtool --mode=compile cc -c  -W -Werror -Wall -std=c99 -posix -g -o 
socket.o socket.c
     cc -c -W -Werror -Wall -std=c99 -posix -g socket.c

    libtool --mode=compile cc -c  -W -Werror -Wall -std=c99 -posix -g -o strl.o

     cc -c -W -Werror -Wall -std=c99 -posix -g strl.c 
    mv -f strl.o .libs/strl.o

    (cd .libs && rm -f libsitalibs.so.1 && ln -s libsitalibs.so.1.0.0 
libsitalibs.so.1)
    (cd .libs && rm -f libsitalibs.so && ln -s libsitalibs.so.1.0.0 
libsitalibs.so)
    creating libsitalibs.la
    (cd .libs && rm -f libsitalibs.la && ln -s ../libsitalibs.la libsitalibs.la)
%%%


As you can see, no command is issued when I'm trying to build
libsitalibs.a with libtool-1.5.6.  (Note that I have recently added the
"-static" argument, while trying to make libtool-1.5 behave correctly).

Thank you.
