Playing around with "MKSTATICLIB=3Dyes" or "MKSTATICLIB=3Dno" ?
I could understand the problem that you're describing
when building with MKSTATICLIB=3Dno ...

I think that's a bit grody, and may fail when
	make MKSTATICLIB=3Dno=20
is used, because command-line variable assignments take precedence
over Makefile (global) variable assignments...
(This latter reason is why we use "MKxxx" as the end-user controls,
and set NOxxx in the Makefiles to hard-code stuff that shouldn't
be changed.)

We probably need a separate make var that the necessarily library
can Makefiles use to force a .a to be built even if MKSTATICLIB=3Dno.

This may also be necessary for MKPRIVATELIB=3Dyes libraries.
(I have an uncommitted patch that I was testing for the latter.
I think I didn't commit it because I didn't have a clean
solution for the problem you hit.)


We can thrash this out offline if you like.


cheers,
Luke.
