Controlling library ordering

I have the following in one of my Jamfiles:

project myProj : requirements <link-runtime>shared
<toolset>gcc:<linkflags>-nodefaultlibs
<toolset>gcc:<find-shared-library>c
<os>CYGWIN:<find-static-library>stdc++
<os>CYGWIN:<find-static-library>gcc
<os>CYGWIN:<find-static-library>cygwin
<os>CYGWIN:<find-shared-library>advapi32
<os>CYGWIN:<find-shared-library>kernel32
<os>CYGWIN:<find-shared-library>shell32
<os>CYGWIN:<find-shared-library>user32
<os>LINUX:<find-static-library>stdc++
<os>LINUX:<find-static-library>gcc
<os>FREEBSD:<find-static-library>stdc++
<os>FREEBSD:<find-static-library>gcc
<os>SOLARIS:<find-static-library>supc++
<os>SOLARIS:<find-static-library>gcc_eh
;

The idea is to link everything statically, except system libraries 
(unfortunately I can't rely on the operating system having the correct 
version of libstdc++).

However on the command line, the libraries appear to be alphabetically 
ordered. For example, for cygwin and gcc 3.3.1:
-ladvapi32 -lc -lcygwin -lgcc -lkernel32 -lshell32 -lstdc++ -luser32

Can I control the ordering in any way?

Best,
