ld option "-larchive" not working correctly.

[Amir Amin <e_engineer00 at yahoo dot com>]

hi,

i have ip2k-elf toolchain installed on the cygwin on win2k. i want to
linker my library libmylib.a with the new source files. Origianally
linker command is like

ip2k-elf-ld -o outfile.elf  ...  file1.o file2.o -lgcc

if i add the the option -lmylib in the following way

ip2k-elf-ld -lmylib -o outfile.elf ... file1.o file2.o -lgcc

It did not link my library with the other object files. But if i add
option at end of command like

ip2k-elf-ld -o outfile.elf  ...  file1.o file2.o -lgcc -lmylib

it works in this way. 

Is there some specific reason for this. i have the limitation that in
the IDE i am using, i can only add the command line options with the
executable file name (ip2k-elf-ld -options other-arguments ...), like i
write the second command. i cant specify command line options to put at
end of line as in the 3rd command. 

kindly help me to resolve this problem.

i will be thankful.

Regards, 

Amir Amin
