What do you mean?  It *is* possible to link shared libraries with
static libraries on Solaris.  In fact, GCC builds libgcc with -fPIC so
that, even though libgcc is not a static library, all of its object
code is position-independent, and it can be added to shared libraries
without requiring relocation in code sections.
