Oh, that's what I meant. So we'd have

 hald/helper-util/helper-util.c
                  helper-util.h

that produces a static library libhelper-util.a that all the helpers in
hald/{linux2,freebsd,solaris}/{probing,addons} can link to statically.

Because it spews compiler warnings on functions not used.
