It's not the right way of doing it.  What's supposed to happen is that all
the object files in the convenience library "libtds_objects.a" should be
added to the real library being created.  You should instead try to find out
why convenience library support in libtool isn't working on your system.  

I dimly recall that someone found a solution to this some time ago, that
involved upgrading some of the Apple-supplied toolchain programs with newer,
working versions from the Net.
