Libraries are read in the order specified on the command line, and
object files contained in them are only kept if they contain a
previously undefined symbol, AFAIK. This means that undefined
references in libraries listed later in the command line cannot be
resolved by object files that have already been skipped.

You should really use libtool's machinery, it deals with all those
corner cases.
