[Bug ld/6938] New: ld: failure depending on order of -l libs

[dmitry at karasik dot eu dot org]

When linking a dll file with ld, where -la and -llib libraries used, order of
-la and -llib matters if these libraries are in .a and .lib formats, 
respectively. 
The link below[1] points to the setup that can be used to reproduce this
problem. Namely, passing "-la -llib" produces error 

./lib.lib(lib.obj):lib.c:(.text+0x4): undefined reference to `_wlib'

whereas passing "-llib -la" succeeds. There, wlib is exported by lib.lib, and
used by liba.a .
