[Bug other/36579] New: gcc refuses to recognize libraries on the command line

[c94wjpn at gmail dot com]

It seems to me that the ordering of the libraries / object files given on the
command line is significant.

This fails:
g++ -lpthread -L. -lext minimal.o  -o go
minimal.o: In function `main':
minimal.cpp:(.text+0x1f): undefined reference to `ext_'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Whereas this succeeds:
g++ -lpthread minimal.o -L. -lmcf_ext -o go

here, libext.a is a c-library.

I think you're mad. I won't be reporting any bugs to gcc until I see signs
of intelligence coming from you people.
