Background: SunOS 4.1, Sparc 1+, gcc version 1.37.1, gnu-ld

This is probably a FAQ but I can't find a solution in the docs anywhere.

Situation:


	gcc p.o -la -lb

	-where-
	liba.a contains references to libb.a and (this is the problem) libb.a
	also has references back to liba.a.

	My extra wrinkle is that I am trying to override system functions in
	liba that are used in libb.  What happens is that the routines in
	liba.a are ignored and not linked in at all.


I know, I know.  This is not a good idea with PURE layered programming.  I also
know that this will happen with my native cc and ld.


Question 1:
	Is there a realatively easy solution to this?

Question 2:
	Why can't ld load all command line files and resolve them independly of
	command line order?  What am I missing?


Can you tell that this ain't my bailiwick?  I just use the stuff :-).

Thanks in advance for any and all info,
gray
