Currently I'm using a patched binutils for compiling kde which exclude all *.a libs inm
conjunction with libtool.
To export specific libs, I'm using the "no whole archive" options of libtool, which unpacks
the archive and adds each objfile.
Additional this is nessessary if you are using static libs in more than one dll.
