This has been true on most platforms for quite some time, only now are
some vendors getting away from this.  (Though I know of no standard
which says they should.) 

You must design your libraries and order them on the link line so that
functions called by libraries earlier in the link line are defined by
libraries later in the link line.  (Or include libraries on the link
line twice.)
