I don't need it as such. This is a demonstration project that
demonstrates using various linking methods and how that affects the
usage of my analysis tool.

I assumed creating a static library was possible and that the
resulting library could then be used like any other static library on
the system. I could always change it to a convenience library which i
assume would not suffer from this problem, but it would be good to get
to the bottom of this problem.

There are probably a lot of other users out there that are doing this
that have not come across the problem because they are using a single
compiler. I really need to find a resolution to the problem otherwise
they will not be able to use my tool unless they also change to
convenience libraries which may not be what they want.

I am sorry i don't understand what you mean by whether such a setup is
supported by GCC.

I will try and compile the project manually without libtool and see if
i can get it to work. That might give more of an indication of where
the problem might be.

Thanks for looking into it. I appreciate the help.
