Look: If somebody happens to link against both your library and the one whose code you'd like to also end up in your library, you'll have duplicate symbols[1]. So in general, this is not a good idea. > Of course, if that third-party library was mine, I would just change it > from lib_LTLIBRARIES to noinst_LIBRARIES; but that's not the case.

But you may have done that already. Cheers, Ralf [1] At least on some systems, you will have some sort of nasty trouble.
