Thanks to everybody who responsed.

Here is a quick summary what to do (sunos; bsd without static stuff, I guess):

1) find the address of top of mem. (top = sbrk(0))

2) do: ld -Bstatic -N -x -A a.out -T top objfile.o -e _entry -o tmpfil libs.a\
       -lc
   (-T top specifies the address)

3) read tmpfil header (total size) and allocate space using sbrk(totsize)

4) read the tmpfil in.

5) call header.a_entry ()

If anoyone wants the examples I got I can mail those.

Jussi
