Wasn't it pointed out that these 'shared' libraries do not contain
position-independent code and, therefore, when linked against they cause
private pages to be allocated so the data isn't 'shared' at all. A complete
waste of time!

The ultra-correct way to do it is to alter all the makefiles so that
everything gets linked as a .so.
 
Instead I have a Perl script (attached) that unarchives the .a files and
then rearchives them into a .so.  You might have to make alterations to this
based on what version of Perl you have and whether you have a compiler
called CC that is like Sun's Workshop compilers.  If you have no Perl at
all, well, you should (see www.perl.org <http://www.perl.org>  ) or else
find another way.
