I am trying to link FORTRAN and C++ code together on a Sun. For some reason,
_main out of libF77.a is getting pulled in. However, I can fix it if I link
the FORTRAN library statically. What I wanted to do was this:

    g++ ...  -Xlinker -Bstatic -lF77 -Xlinker -Bdynamic ...

so that only the FORTRAN library would be linked statically. However, it does
not work because gcc collects all the linker options and sticks them at the
front and they cancel out:
  
   ld ... -Bstatic -Bdynamic ... -lF77 ...

I also tried using -Wl,-Bstatic,-lF77,-Bdynamic but this produced:

   ld ... -Bstatic -lF77 -Bdynamic ... <.o files> ...

so libF77.a was never used!

Is there any way in gcc to specify an option that will NOT get shuffled by
gcc? It would seem to me that there really ought to be something, but I could
not find it.
