converting shared library to static library

Question

How can I convert a shared library to static library? I'm trying to statically build valgrind, which requires the conversion of shared objects into static libraries. Normal build procedure of valgrind creates few shared libraries. Is there any way to convert these shared libraries(.so) to static library?

I suppose it's feasible that you might be able to do this. But since you can just build a static library rather than a shared library, I don't imagine you will find a tool to convert.
