No, you don't need dependency_libs when creating archive libraries. The
only time you need it for ELF is when you create shared libraries and
libfoo.so is used due to "-L.... -lfoo". In that case, you can add

dependency_libs="-L.... -lfoo"

My patch should be safe. But the whole dependency_libs thing seems to
need more fixes to get it right for ELF.

Thanks.
