Description
Based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2384932/converting-static-link-library-to-dynamic-dll, we should be able to avoid building all of the source files twice when building a static library as well as a DLL. Given the overlap between the source files for libANGLE and the other static libraries, it seems like it should be possible to filter out any duplicates and just link to libANGLE while building instead, as well.

Research direction
Start by tracing the build configuration for libANGLE, the other static libraries, and the DLL target. Compare their source-file lists and determine where duplicate compilation can be filtered out; done means the static libraries and DLL build successfully without rebuilding overlapping sources.
