I want both libz.a and libz.so* in /lib.

I wrote a simple test case:
cat Makefile
all:
         gcc -c -fPIC -DPIC -o test.o test.c -g
         gcc -o libtest.so -shared test.o
         gcc -c -o test_main.o test_main.c -g
         ar rc libtest.a test.o
         mv libtest.a usr/lib
         mv libtest.so lib
         gcc -o test_main_static test_main.o -L./usr/lib -L./lib -ltest
         gcc -o test_main_shared test_main.o -L./lib -L./usr/lib -ltest

If don't install to same directory then it will have problems.
