You can add .a file in the linking command:
gcc yourfiles /path/to/library/libLIBRARY.a
But this is not talking with gcc driver, but with ld linker as options like -Wl,anything are.
When you tell gcc or ld -Ldir -lLIBRARY, linker will check both static and dynamic versions of library (you can see a process with -Wl,--verbose). To change order of library types checked you can use -Wl,-Bstatic and -Wl,-Bdynamic. Here is a man page of gnu LD: http://linux.die.net/man/1/ld
To link your program with lib1, lib3 dynamically and lib2 statically, use such gcc call:
gcc program.o -llib1 -Wl,-Bstatic -llib2 -Wl,-Bdynamic -llib3
Assuming that default setting of ld is to use dynamic libraries (it is on Linux).
