doltcompile does not reorder any flags passed to it; it merely replaces the .lo filename with the appropriate object filename and adds any necessary additional compiler flags (such as -fPIC -DPIC) to the end of the command line. dolt doesn't currently cover linking; libtool still does that. Since -Wl,--as-needed appears at link time, libtool may still mess with it. If and when I create a doltlink, it will not reorder flags either. - Josh Triplett
