So we reorder the libraries (after deplib expansion) such that the static
libs remain in the same relative order, and the shared libs have duplicates
removed, and are all listed before the first static lib. Right?
The problem we then have is how do we detect what is a shared lib vs a static
lib? Especially on pass_all platforms =(O|
This is fast becoming a large post-1.4 issue to my mind...
Cheers,
Gary.
