The FAQ is misleading - they DO make sense for (all) non-UNIX linkers.  What
non-UNIX linkers do not have an equivalence to an archive?

There is no reason why I cannot compile a load of objects with DLL
compilation objects and stick them in a static library for inclusion into
DLLs later.  I've done it plenty of times in Visual Studio.
