Linking non-libtool libraries into a new backend?

Hi folks,

I'm writing an experimental SANE backend, for which I need to link a bunch of
existing static libraries into my backend's DLL. I tried adding all my .a
files to the end of the "libsane-backend.la:" dependency line in
backend/Makefile, but it just causes libtool to complain:

libtool: link: cannot build libtool library `libsane-backend.la' from non-libtool objects: blah.a grumble.a etc.a

Now I know libtool is supposed to make life easier, but is there any way I can
convince it to link my existing libraries in to the new backend?

Thanks,
Graham
