I suppose not. Also, does this look right? Should they be shared objects?
(I'm just about out of my depth)

[~/src/SuiteSparse]
|27 $ ls ~/atlas_build2/lib/
libamd.a    libcholmod.a     liblapack.a     libptlapack.a  libtstatlas.a
libatlas.a  libf77blas.a     libptcblas.a    libsatlas.so   libumfpack.a
libcblas.a  libf77refblas.a  libptf77blas.a  libtatlas.so

I have the -fPIC flag set when building SuiteSparse.
