This question is not suitable for this mailing list. Please send further replies to the gcc-help list. The ordering of libraries on the command line is important; if you have functions from libxxx.a that need functions from libnew.a living in object files not needed already, then the link fails. Reordering libraries might work, or specifying libnew.a again after libxxx.a. In extreme cases you may need to repeat both libraries several times in order to fully link them. An alternative is wrapping them in -Wl,--start-group and -Wl,--end-group. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
