It's possible to do this. I've done it on linux. But if pieces of
the .a appear in several .so files, and if these pieces comes from
different versions, or different build configurations of the .a, there
may be trouble.
If you use -Bsymbolic when linking the .so files, you _may_ be able to
make each .so file see the symbols from its own .a file. I wasn't
able to make it do this. I was only able to use it to make an .so
look inside itself for symbols, before looking at the globally
available symbols.
