When making static libraries for this kind of situation, it is probably a good idea to nmedit them to make the symbols private external. This will stop many multiple defitions errors/warnings. If a shared library is built with the static one as part of the input, it would normally reexport all the global symbols from the static lib, making the static lib's symbols private external will stop that from happening.
