libtool abstracts --whole-archive when libtool convenience archives are used,
and it can create relocatable objects. As a cheap way to exploit that you
could amend BUILDGOX to create a little convenience archive .la file. Or let
BUILDARCHIVE build an actual .la convenience archive, that's even easier. Hmm,
there is even a rule to create %.la from %.a, why all this going backwards
trying to hack around libtool when it can do the job?
libtool also has a pending patch abstracting -Bstatic/-Bdynamic by the way.
