AFAIK, normal (non "whole") static libs mean that the shared library (or executable) generated from this library will have all unused/unreferenced code removed. That is obviously a problem for a library that is a dependency of something else - the GCC's linker will throw away all "unused" code, because it has no idea it will be needed in the future. The LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES turns this optimization off and includes all code verbatim in the generated shared library/exe. I believe it triggers the "--whole-archive" switch of the GNU linker.
