Probably, but it is worth trying...
I had chance a couple of times, for instance with the FreeGLUT library.
Indeed I looked for a conversion tool and read on some sites that it was
only a question or renaming. The file formats seem also to be similar
(!<arch> ...); and at least ld finds what is it looking for.
Maybe only the *.lib -> lib*.a is ok.
