Sorry, I guess I didn't understand your question.  

You are asking if it's OK to build a shared lib and a static lib using
the same object files?

On most systems shared libs have to be built with PIC using -fpic.
So all objs in shared lib have to have -fpic.

Are you suggesting to build the static lib with the same objs?  That
might work, but it would be pointless.

Have you looked at GNU libtool?
