Hi Ralph,

Thanks for the quick response.  Some follow-up questions:

Okay :)

They are under my control, but it seems (from the documentation) that
convenience archives aren't exactly what I want.  If I understand it
correctly, convenience archives are simply archives with dependent
library information attached. That's fine, but I'm not sure the
resulting program will get "whole-archive" behavior. That is, I want
every object from both lib1.a and lib2.a linked into the program
(statically).  Are you telling me that when I link a program with
libtool and one of the libraries linked with is a convenience library
that all objects in that library will be linked into the program?

Thanks,

Reid.
