compiling c++ files with static libraries of c

["Nirmal Thacker" <thacker.nirmal@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

is it possible to compile a c++ file with a static library created from a c file?

for eg i have file - slib.c of which i create a static library , say libslib.a
now can i link a c++ file with this libslib.a
 library? i am running gcc 2.95.2 - yes i know its old but i need it for compatibility issues.

on the other hand how can i create stubs to my system calls in a c++ file? the normal syntax of 
_syscallN(....) doesnt seem to work for me

thanks,
nirmal
