I am building some code and i need a certain library to be linked in last, so it can resolve symbols left unresolved earlier. Normally the way to do this would be to just list that library last on the command line. However, i'm using a build system which constructs all the commands for me, and although it makes a provision for adding extra arguments to the linker, they end up going first. So although i can add arguments to the link, i cannot order them the way i want, and i get unresolved symbols as a consequence. So i'm wondering if there's any argument i can slip in that will change the order that gcc runs through the libraries in. (The gcc info suggest not, but perhaps there's an undocumented option for doing this?) Thanks in advance for any clues on this. dan
