As you say at the start of the email, you can't. All you could do is 
create a combined lib containing the contents of libodbc.a and libodbc++.a.

BTW, remember that statically linking to your application does not 
remove the GPL requirements of using the lib in your application.

Also BTW, you should join the list before posting.
