I have two modules that need to share a common utility library. What I'd like to do is make the library into a .a and link each module to it. 'Twould be also nice if the modules had a dependency so the library got built automatically. Thanks for any advice.

Drop the library idea and create a third module.
That's how this is done in several places in the kernel with success.

See Documentation/kbuild/* for how to deal with more than one module.
