I'm not Vincent but your first g++ line is incorrect I think (I assume the 
same happens with gcc). You must at least specify an object file with 
main(). For static libraries the gcc linker optimize linkage by throwing 
away any unused symbols. Without any object file the library is completly 
skipped (the startup code don't count).

Frank
