--whole-archive ld(1) option doesn't work

[Maxim Sobolev]

I've noticed that the --whole-archive option doesn't work in -CURRENT and
4-STABLE. Among other things it makes impossible to build openssl from ports
(yeah, I know that one should use ssl from /usr/src, but that's not a point).

Attached testcase and log exose the problem in question.
