Apologies if this approach has already been mentioned. I thought
it was kinda neat.
AIX has something interesting. All libraries are ar libs. You can
have shared objects in them, or plain .o files, or a mixture of both.
The same library can be used for dynamic or static builds.
Further, since all code is position-independent, you can easily
make a shared library from any .o file.
