Not a gcc bug at best but really not a bug at all since static library is just a big collection of .o files and 
the static linker just pulls in the files which are referenced so it does not pull in the those files.  Either 
use a shared library or use the option to ld which says to pick up the whole archive (if there is one for 
your target, the GNU binutils does have that option).
