[CMake] Linking problem

Salvatore,
It sounds like your static libraries were meant strictly as "convenience"
libraries (i.e. libraries that are only used internal to the build system to
make building other libraries easier). In CMake, it is much easier to not
use convenience libraries. Instead, just add all of the sources from the
static libraries into the appropriate shared library source list. In other
words .... skip the middle man.
Static linking is a strange beast. When you link in a static library, it will
only resolve symbols that are currently being used. All other symbols from
the static library are pruned out. The nice thing is that this reduces the
binary object size. On the other hand, symbols that may be needed further
down the chain are not resolved, as you have found out.
