It may work in your case but in general there may be unexpected issues 
when mixing this especially when using c++
check http://www.trilithium.com/johan/2005/06/static-libstdc/

Also in plain C linking some library foo statically while linking other 
library bar dynamically that is already linked dynamically to foo (and 
similar variations of this when using multiple dependent libraries) may 
give you unexpected issues both at link time and also later at run time.
