When linking a dll file with ld, where -la and -llib libraries used, order of -la and -llib matters if these libraries are in .a and .lib formats, respectively. The link below[1] points to the setup that can be used to reproduce this problem. Namely, passing "-la -llib" produces error
./lib.lib(lib.obj):lib.c:(.text+0x4): undefined reference to `_wlib' whereas passing "-llib -la" succeeds. There, wlib is exported by lib.lib, and used by liba.a .
