The linux version of Build_Dynamic_Library passes all options and libraries in
Options, which end up on the command line before the object files.  So it looks
like the signature of Build_Dynamic_Library should differentiate between options
and libraries.  Until it does, use the same approach as done for on irix,
scanning the options for -l strings and moving them to Options_2, which end up
behind the object files. Just copied from the irix variant (available up to
4.7). Ok for 4.7, 4.8 and the trunk?

	* mlib-tgt-specific-linux.adb (Build_Dynamic_Library): Move -l* strings
	from Options to Options_2.

Can you clarify what problem you are trying to solve (e.g. by providing
a testcase, explaining what you are doing and you would expect)?

from http://bugs.debian.org/680292

Gnatmake calls gcc -shared in a way incompatible with
--as-needed. Gprbuild uses a better ordering.

-- bug.ads
package Bug is
end Bug;
-- bug.gpr
project Bug is
  for Library_Name use "bug";
  for Library_Version use "libbug.so.1";
  for Library_Kind use "dynamic";
  for Library_Dir use "lib";
  for Library_Options use ("-lncurses");
end Bug;
$ mkdir lib
$ gnatmake -v -Pbug
...
/usr//bin/gcc-4.6 -shared ... -lncurses ... -lgnat-4.6 -Wl,-soname,libbug.so.1
/tmp/bug/bug.o
...
$ gnatclean -Pbug
...
$ gprbuild -v -Pbug
...
/usr/bin/gcc-4.6 -shared ... -lgnat-4.6 ... -Wl,-soname,libbug.so.1
/tmp/bug/bug.o -lncurses
...

When adding -Wl,--as-needed before -lncurses in Library_Options (or
using GNU gold linker with default options), symbols from -lgnat-4.6
are ignored because they are not used by any object *yet*. In this
minimal example, this is not a problem, but any useful library will
use symbols from -lgnat-4.6.
