<me> did you have the lib before or after the object that uses it on
the command line?

<me> put it after

<me> it only takes the stuff it knows it needs from the .a
<me> and before your object files, it doesn't need anything from the .a

does it need to include the entire .a, or does it only include that
function that I need?
<me> I'm fairly certain that it'll only take the needed bits from a .a
<me> if it took everything it wouldn't matter where in the argument list it was

I don't think you have a problem with this, but if it's going into the
docs it's an important distinction.
