I've updated this PR to include partial linking for building static libraries with clang on Linux only. On macosx builds, relative path is used when needed for long path and many objects. @erikj79, could you please help run another iteration of your tests to see if there are any remaining missed cases. Hopefully we'll be able to wrap up this change. Thanks!
