we are trying to build a shared object out of static shared archives only,
but the resulting .SO does not have any exported symbols.
As the S.a archives are all compiled using -fPIC and the functions are global, we would expect that the resulting .SO 
will contain the symbols from S.a files - but this is not working.
We tried to use a version script to explicitly declare the functions that should be exported, but it's not working.
So is it possible at all, to generate a .SO out of S.a files only?
are we doing something wrong, or what has to be done that a function from S.a file gets exported from within the build .
SO file?

any suggestions?
TIA
