Unfortunately I don't quite understand this part of the Makefile (which seems to deal with building static libs) well enough to grok what you are talking about. Would you mind sending a patch for this change? BTW I'm very exited about your intent to package liblouis and liblouisxml for Debian (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513632 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513633). If there is anything I can do to move this forward, please let me know.
