Ugh, I was wondering if that was really going to work or not.  Your copy
of libseal.a has been built without relocation capability, so it can't
be included in a .so library.

In principle, if you have the source code for libseal, you could recompile
it with -fpic or -fPIC and continue to link against the .a form of the
library.  But it might be better to turn it into a .so in its own right.
