I thought I'd follow up. I did as Martin suggested and deleted the static libs. The result was that I then got errors of missing libraries when updating packages. In each instance I identified the specific package and rebuilt. My update- all required rebuilding about 10 packages. No doubt there are more yet to come. In any event, I've had no other troubles with Snow Leopard.
