I did not know that. Sorry.
I thought that linking with -l when making a shared library 
only meant to put information to the run-time linker about further
run-time
linking. I had never thought about linking in position independent code
from a static archive.

If that is possible, I agree; the order of the things when compiling and 
linking is very important.

And what does ldd app.so say?
