As mentioned there is no way to do this with in the C standard. But
chances are your compiler supports command line arguments like
'-DLIBRARY_NAME=mylib.a' or something similar. If your using make
files it should be possible (or easy for that matter) to automate this
using make rules. Perhaps check a unix or make related newsgroup.

Good luck,
