--- Comment #1 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
If the intent of --start-lib --stop-lib is to behave as if the object files
enclosed were in an archive library, then gold is behaving correctly.  (I'm
assuming that your full ld.gold command line included the normal startup
objects before --start-lib.)

crt1.o references "main".  This causes ld to extract foo.o from the conceptual
archive to satisfy a strong undefined.  There is no strong undefined foo at the
time bar.o is processed, so bar.o is not "extracted".
