Thanks, but unfortunately that seems to be a GNU specific feature. On 
OSX it results in failure saying:

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=link g++  -g -O2 -Wl,-whole-archive 
../foo/libfoo.a -Wl,-no-whole-archive  -o baz baz.o ../bar/libbar.la
libtool: link: g++ -g -O2 -Wl,-whole-archive -Wl,-no-whole-archive -o 
.libs/baz baz.o -Wl,-bind_at_load  ../foo/libfoo.a ../bar/.libs/libbar.dylib
/usr/bin/ld: unknown flag: -whole-archive
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [baz] Error 1
