    The  linker  will  search  an archive only once, at the location
    where it is specified on  the  command  line.   If  the  archive
    defines  a  symbol  which  was  undefined  in  some object which
    appeared before the archive on the command line, the linker will
    include  the  appropriate file(s) from the archive.  However, an
    undefined symbol in an object appearing  later  on  the  command
    line will not cause the linker to search the archive again.

    See  the  -(  option  for  a  way  to force the linker to search
    archives multiple times.

    You may list the same archive  multiple  times  on  the  command
    line.

    However, if you are using ld on AIX, note that it  is  different
    from the behaviour of the AIX linker.

well, it's not _a_ standard, but it is standard. :)

well, in version 2.16.1 they don't anymore, by default.
