	I believe the docs actual mean a .so _inside_ the .a. (vs. .o's within
the .a), but I haven't looked at the man pages for months.  You're using
the AIX ld right?

There _is_ support in the very latest libtool for AIX style .a libraries,
but it got kind of screwed up because of the gnu break-in a while ago,
so they reverted the published libtool to an earlier version.
