# Take a dynamically linked ELF binary and relink it, maximizing the
# use of static libraries.
#
# Example:
#   binary foo
#            ---> dynamically links to libbar.so.0
#            ---> dynamically links to libzab.so.3
# If libbar.a is available, but there is no libzab.a, then we would
# end up with:
#   binary foo.static with libbar.a statically inside it
#            ---> still dynamically linking with libzab.so.3
#
# We need to have access to the original link command.  This script
# works by post-processing it to find the '-lbar' arguments, which are
# replaced sometimes by direct static library names.
#
# Therefore to use this, you have to add this rule to your
# Makefile.am:
#
# foo.static$(EXEEXT): $(foo_OBJECTS) $(foo_DEPENDENCIES)
#   relink-static.sh \
#   $(foo_LINK) $(foo_OBJECTS) -static $(foo_LDADD) $(foo_LIBS)
