[Scons-users] GCC Tool breaks linker for explicitly named libraries

[Bill Deegan]

Steve,

When you say add, I'm assuming you mean they added that string to LIBS ?

You'll need to provide a bit more info to provide a reasonable solution.

Do other libraries in LIBS depend on the contents of libfoo.a?  or only the
object files also listed?
