Actually, you claim that if some static library defines some global variable, then it should NOT be linked with more then one shared library.
Static libraries should only be linked with the executable. Shared objects are perfectly fine with undefined symbols. (Of course this is only a general rule, there can be good reasons to ignore it)

In essence, the rule creates "Shared (Global) Data Segments" in the Microsoft world. Those things are quite dangerous (because one process can cause another to crash)
Er, I don't know about shared global data segments, but in this thread there is no mention of crossing the process boundary, only merging 2 variables in a given process.
