grouping libraries

[Marty Leisner]

Well, after much trial and error and head scratching, in order to group
libraries together (with linker options trailing the libraries) I did:

OUR_LIBS=../common/libCommon.a ../A/libA.a ../B/libB.a \
        ../HW/source/libHW.a  

sim_LDADD=-Wl,--start-group $(OUR_LIBS) -Wl,--end-group
sim_DEPENDENCIES=$(OUR_LIBS)
 

When I run automake, I still get the warning:
sim/Makefile.am:7: linker flags such as `-Wl,--start-group' belong in 
`sim_LDFLAGS

but obviously, these are order dependent flags, so the warning
makes little sense...

Is there a cleaner way for automake to handle this, or should I 
just write Makefile.in's by hand...
