If you don't need the archive to be self-contained, you can also use a
thin archive:

$ ar crT libstate.a src/namespace*/state.o
$ ar t libstate.a
src/namespace_bar/state.o
src/namespace_foo/state.o

Here, libstate.a contains just the symbol table, with references to
the object files in their separate directories.
