  1. Prelink static libraries into an object file 

    This combines the *.o into a big .o producing one translation unit.
This preserve our unused static initializers, as specified in the C++
standard:

  If no variable or function is odr-used from a given translation
  unit, the non-local variables defined in that translation unit may
  never be initialized (this models the behavior of an on-demand
  dynamic library).

Note that this is very similar to how the --whole-archive flag works.
One advantage of this is that users of the final .a library don’t have
to worry about specifying --whole-archive, or that we have unused
static initializers at all!
