The most likely issue is that with static libraries, you need to specify
them in the correct order: undefined symbols from libraries early in the
command line will, if not yet found in any of the pulled-in objects, be
searched only in later objects/libraries.  If you libraries depend on
one another mutually, you may even have to specify some more than once,
and also fiddle with libtool's --preserve-dup-deps.

Or there may always be a bug, who knows.  In order to be able to say
more, you need to show more.  For example, a small example that
reproduces the issue.
