nope.  ld's default is to prefer dynamic libraries, at least with recent 
binutils versions.  i don't think it has anything to do with the 
lanugage used (how would ld know anyway?  it just works with object 
files).  if you want to link to the static library, you have to 
explicitly give it the .a filename.  i don't think you need to specify 
-static though.  i think you can be more flexible if using libtool: in 
that case you just give it the .la file, and tell it to prefer static or 
dynamic.  i don't remember exactly how to do this though.
