The order in which objects are listed on the command line is relevant.  In
this instance, your testlist.cpp requires some objects specified by
libcomctl32.a, therefore, the -lcomctl32 *must* follow testlist.cpp.

e.g.

g++ -s -mwindows -D_WIN32_IE=0x0401 -o testlist.exe testlist.cpp -lcomctl32

As a general rule, you should always list the libraries last. In cases where
your libraries depend on other libraries, the same still holds true.

In the future, please do a search of the archives first.  Virtually the same
question was asked by Nuno Sousa (and answered by Max Bowsher) on Jan 4th.
