It would be a nasty bug if this is not the case, consider doing something
like,
apt-get install install libfoo-dev, libfoo
gcc t.c -lfoo
./a.out
If libfoo does not list libraries it links to then the above will
incorrectly fail.
Why doesn't someone quickly scan the libraries on the system and just
check this then file important bugs?
