strange binary status when linked with shared binary in 11.4-R

[Jin Guojun[VFF]]

In 11.4-Release, the binary linked with shared library (.so) is MUCH 
bigger then expected,
and ldd shows the binary linked with shared binary is not really 
dynamically linked.
This has not been seen in 10.x-Release and earlier.

Does anyone know if the dynamic link flag has been changed in CLang 10?

Move libccs.a to libccs.ax to demo that this is not a mistake:
