OK,
I wasn't aware of its existence.
[snip]
For each symbol which is undefined when the linker sees the archive,
for which a definition is provided by the archive, the linker will
include the complete object file which defines the symbol. If
including an object file causes the linker to see new undefined
symbols, the linker will check to see whether those symbols are
defined in the archive, and for each such symbol will include the
object file which defines it. This process is repeated until there
are no new undefined symbols which can be satisfied by the archive.
Completely clear to me,
Thanks,
