From what I read, the latest gcc versions are stricter on this issue, as the flag `--as-needed` is on by default, which requires libraries to be linked in reverse dependence order (see e.g. comments [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8207464/linking-math-library-in-gcc-4-6-1-ubuntu-11-10)).","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/carlobaldassi/julia/comments/800273","line":null,"commit_id":"c560f9a03f7b7b55f8ab4a0f734c5a32ff1a386d"}}
