gcc the gnu linker and the -z extract option

[eoin]

Ok - I now know better what I want to do.

Basically using gcc I want to statically link a number of .as to a shared
object and dynamically link the rest.

In Solaris I do -h <so name> -z muldefs -z allextract -Bstatic <list of
archives> -Bdynamic

In gcc what I'm trying is -shared (I require this option due to a few other
things) -z muldefs -static <list of archives> -shared

This however does not statically link the archives into the shared
object(acccording to ldd). Any ideas?

Thanks
