Right - but I was under the impression that you only had to be 
careful with library files.  For object files, as long as they come
before any of the libraries, order should be irrelevant.  Order 
of the libraries (-lgcc -lc -lgcc for example), or placing object files
after libraries on the link line will cause problems, but just shuffling
object files in a group should be ok.
