I think I've found the problem with static libraries. In configure.ac,
DOLFIN_LTLIBS should refer to all the *.lo files, which are located in
the same directories as the source code (see
http://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_94.html).

Also, is the line

  libdolfin_la_DEPENDENCIES = @DOLFIN_LTLIBS@

in src/lib/Makefile.am required?

# Generate libtool library list (including also module code)
DOLFIN_LTLIBS=""
for f in $DOLFIN_MODULES; do
#  DOLFIN_LTLIBS="$DOLFIN_LTLIBS \
$(top_builddir)/src/modules/$f/libdolfin-$f.la "
   DOLFIN_LTLIBS="$DOLFIN_LTLIBS \$(top_builddir)/src/modules/$f/*.lo "
done
for f in $DOLFIN_KERNEL; do
#   DOLFIN_LTLIBS="$DOLFIN_LTLIBS \
$(top_builddir)/src/kernel/$f/libdolfin-$f.la "
    DOLFIN_LTLIBS="$DOLFIN_LTLIBS \$(top_builddir)/src/kernel/$f/*.lo "
done
AC_SUBST(DOLFIN_LTLIBS)
