[rg <rgross854@xxxxxxxxx>]

thanks for the tips so far and I can link external libs with e.g. libsql.a
but the problem seems to go deeper and the core issue appears to be -

linking a static library to say libsql.a breaks generation of libmysqld.a
as Linux ar/ranlib can not strip out nested linked libraries.

This is somewhat of a limitation and would cause quite some rewrite of
things ready for integration (into libsql). Ouch.
