Strictly speaking, this should read "linkers don't include stuff you don't need". If you don't need a particular .o from the static library, it won't be included in the output. "Need" is defined as "provides a symbol that is undefined in the linker at this point". > We can't do much about this. Yes, there is. There's -Wl,--whole-archive for the Unix linkers.
