There is no solution in the Breakpad source for this, unfortunately. The XCode projects simply build the Breakpad framework, as that's the more-supported client API. You can build the code with your own set of Makefiles or whatever build setup you desire the same way Firefox does by looking at the set of Mozilla makefiles:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/crashreporter/google-breakpad/src/common/mac/Makefile.in

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/crashreporter/google-breakpad/src/client/Makefile.in

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/crashreporter/google-breakpad/src/client/mac/handler/Makefile.in

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/crashreporter/google-breakpad/src/client/mac/crash_generation/Makefile.in

and gathering the set of files referenced in CSRCS/CPPSRCS/CMSRCS/CMMSRCS, and building all of those.

You might also file a bug in the Breakpad issue tracker to ask that the XCode project build this static library as well. It would not be a difficult patch.
