Static linking works. I was in this same situation yesterday, and
adding the .o files that were generated from C sources to the linking
step did the trick.
If you are trying to link a .a file, you may have to pass the
-force_load option to the linker to force it to include it, otherwise
it may see that none of the symbols there are being referenced
directly and decide to not include it (this happened to me when using
clang in OSX).
