I seem to recall from previous discussions here that this is the correct 
explanation: if you link to the shared lib and reference a method in the 
static lib that wasn't used in the shared lib, you get a linking error because 
the linker tries to be efficient too early on.

We should probably put this on techbase once it's confirmed by someone who 
actually knows what they're talking about (Thiago?  You always seem very clued 
up on compiler and linker issues).
