Command line parsing bug in g++ egcs 1.1 (resend)

[Eric Dana]

The EGCS 1.1 g++ compiler seems to be reordering the order of libraries
specified on a command line. This has caused us some problems :(.
The g++ 2.7.2 compiler does NOT perform the reordering. Both the gcc
and EGCS 1.1 gcc compiler do NOT perform the reordering either. Look
for 'Read Here' in this message (2 instances) to see the ordering
problem. The details follow.

Configuration:

    SparcStation-20
    Solaris 2.5
    gcc 2.7.2 (this is the default compiler)
    egcs 1.1

g++ -v test1.C -lc -L/usr/ucblib -lucb
