Sorry, this was my fault.  Yes, 'pkglib_LTLIBRARIES' must be used.

After this one has all libraries as shared and static.  Now the real
problem is how to tell libtool to put all static libraries into a
single 'libgls.a'.  The documentation of libtool does not say much
about this (or I am not able to understand it).  I played with the
additional key '-static' to build 'libgsl.a' but still it does not
work.  It works only to build the two 'test_static' programs, but not
for a library.  Anybody an idea?
