Do an "nm" on your libc.a and make sure that object has both _exp2 and
___pow2 global.  This shouldn't work.  Consider:

main.o:
T _exp2
U _pow2

stub.o:
T _pow2
U ___pow2

libc.o:
T _exp2
T ___pow2

Now, you link main.o, you get _exp2 and need _pow2.  Adding the stub
resolves _pow2, but needs ___pow2.  Adding libc resolves ___pow2 but
now you have two _exp2.  That should fail.
