Hey Michel,

So am I delusional, and -L never worked in 'last seen, first used'
order? I thought the whole point was to be able to do things like:

  -L/priv/lib1 -llib1 -L/priv/lib2 -lib2 -L/priv/lib2 -lib3 ...

and ensure you were getting the correct libraries?

I'm downloading code off standard repositories that is suddenly not
linking because of this - did it change recently??

Cheers,
jas.
