Hmm, how can that happen? Creating a libX.a is just packing *.o into an
archive, regardless of internal references. It doesn't even involve the
linker.

If codeclib (from /lib/rbcodec), which we ideally want to work outside
Rockbox, uses this then fixed point should also be somewhere in /lib IMO.

Best regards.
