Check symlinks. You should have:
/lib/libc.so.5 -> /lib/libc.so.5.4.17
/lib/libc.so -> /lib/libc.so.5
/usr/lib/libc.so.5 -> /lib/libc.so.5
You got two of those backwards. The libc.so goes in the same
directory as libc.a, namely /usr/lib (not /lib). And the libc.so.5 in
the /usr/lib directory has no effect, as the linker won't look for it
there (it will look for it in the same directory as the
libc.so.5.4.17).
In order for `ld' to make a shared library reference rather than
statically include code, it must find the libFOO.so file before it
finds the libFOO.a file; unless you know the search order, the
convention is to put both in the same directory. Hence, you should
have:
/lib/libc.so.5 -> /lib/libc.so.5.4.17 # Built automatically by ldconfig.
/usr/lib/libc.so -> /lib/libc.so.5 # Built by hand.
/usr/lib/libc.a # Normal location of libc.a
