Re: idea for mixed import/static libraries and linking with DLLs

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.
