Linking with a static library works the same way as linking with an  
object file: Either -k/full/path/to/library.a, or {$l library.a} in  
combination with -Fo/full/path/to/library.

In principle, {$linklib xxx} or -klxxx in combination with -Fl would  
also work if you use the -Xt parameter (so the linker looks for static  
libraries -- but then it will try to link every single library  
statically, which is probably not what you want).
