For what is worth, we already do this for Instantbird to work around
limitations in the Mozilla build system that make it impossible (or
overly complicated) to create more than one library from a single
source code folder.

There are probably better ways to do it, but if you don't mind a
little hackery, it's already pretty easy to do, you just have to link
all the files in the oscar folder into a single library and change the
code like this:
