libtool uses -whole-archive when adding a convenience library to a
shared library but does not use that option when adding a convenience
library to an executable. There are more caveats depending on whether
the convenience library is "regular" or "static" (search "info libtool"
for -static).

I was encouraged by the following wording in libtool documentation:

"When you link a program with a [static convenience] library, libtool
will actually link all object files and dependency libraries into the
program."

Unfortunately, in my tests, the above does not mean that all objects get
linked. It is possible that I did not test this right, of course.

Cheers,

Alex.
