libtool has to create a line like this:

  -Wl,-z -Wl,allextract ../cipher/.libs/libcipher.a \
                        ../mpi/.libs/libmpi.a -Wl,-z -Wl,-defaultextract.

otherwise the same link line reordering problem shows up as with Solaris
cc.

This is fixed wrongly in 1.5.10, and properly in upcoming 1.5.16, which
is due end of this week, hopefully.

It would have been really nice if you had answered my questions, because
that would have saved everybody time.
