Hi all,

As we know, a module could be build easily by kernel build system and
a simple Makefile. I wonder whether there is a way to build a static
library, saying, "*.a" for other drivers to link to.

Does kernel's build system support this feature? If yes, how to link
to this *.a by Makfile of a driver?

Thanks,
    Dafu
