Afterthought:

The 3rd party .a library is not really "shared".
When you build a module against it, the .a library's functionality gets 
incorporated into the functionality of the module's .so file.
After the build, you can rename the .a file or entirely remove it from the 
system, and the module will remain fully functional.
