FYI, ".dll.a" is a recognized extention meaning "import lib". If found
in the library search path, it takes precedence over ".a" unless -static
is used. E.G.
/my/lib/path/ contains
libfoo.dll.a
libfoo.a
Then
gcc <list of object files> -L/my/lib/path -lfoo
will find and link against /my/lib/path/libfoo.dll.a
gcc -static <list of object files> -L/my/lib/path -lfoo
will link against /my/lib/path/libfoo.a
