I'm pretty certain it doesn't work on some platforms.  AIX springs to
mind, although I can't test it at the moment, as its linker doesn't
work through the objects and libraries in argv[] order checking to see
what undefined symbols the current element resolves.

comp.compilers might be a place to ask.
