Ok, that's certainly strange. Could you send your /usr/bin/libtool?

I can build a static library if I also build a shared library. Then
libtool seems to extract the object files from the individual static
libraries (using "ar x") and relink a new library. When only building
a static library this doesn't happen and no object files are linked
in.
