Absolutely.

In light of discussion so far, can we get consensus on leaving `-all-static'
as is, and making `-static' choose which system libraries to link dynamically
based on some other method than whether or not they have a .la file attached?

`-lt-static' was still-born, lets pretend I never said that ;-)

Cheers,
        Gary.
