gcc acts as a frontend to cpp, g77, ld, etc, so it seems like it
should be able to do the same with ar. It would simplify the creation
of pic/nonpic libraries, as you could use one makefile rule
duplicated:
libfoo.so:
gcc -o $@ -shared $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDLIBS)
libfoo.a:
gcc -o $@ -fPIC $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDLIBS)
There's probably even a way to write that in one line.
