what you suggeted in your e-mail referred to the way to build GDAL_SLIB, but 
the problem i'm trying to work around is how to build GDAL_LIB.

what i'd need as a good alternativeto partial linking is a way to dump the 
content of ogr/ogr.a into libgdal.a, possibly without another o-directory 
trick. any idea?

cheers,
alessandro

BTW, i remember i answered to your email, but apparently it didn't get to the 
list ?! sorry.
