    Yes, on systems A, B, and C; no, on systems D, E, and F. The answer
    depends on the implementation, in other words.

    If you are using VMS, ask on comp.os.vms. (Actually, you will
    probably get more responses if you make a claim about how it works.
    Human nature being what it is, a "wrong answer" brings out more
    replies than a right one. This is why you should not trust any
    answer you get in comp.lang.c, since if you are asking about, say,
    the Presburg C compiler, the fact that the Presburg experts are
    elsewhere means that wrong replies are not going to get corrected
    here.)

    What are you talking about, Chris? In comp.lang.c, even /right/ replies get
    corrected!

      Re: relative ordering of static libraries

      So, I gather this is an implementation issue.
      Is there any "standard" way to link or even an "acceptable/
      recommended" way to link defined?
