One Library?

[ar-visions]

How do you compile into one static lib, instead of all of these? Does the 'shared' approach still result in this many, too?

This is how our cute little dep() function was destroyed by abseil:

dep(
    absl_log_severity
    absl_raw_logging_internal
    absl_spinlock_wait
    absl_malloc_internal
    absl_base

    absl_crc_internal
    absl_crc32c

    absl_cord
    absl_graphcycles_internal
    absl_kernel_timeout_internal
    absl_synchronization

    absl_civil_time
    absl_time_zone
    absl_bad_any_cast_impl
    absl_bad_optional_access
    absl_bad_variant_access
)

All I want is dep(absl) ... Is this possible to make a simple libabsl.a ?
