heheh, Hi Gary, sorry. I'm attempting to remove unneeded loops, in case you 
hadn't guessed and I noticed this:
       # The preopen pass in lib mode reverses $deplibs; put it back here
       # so that -L comes before libs that need it for instance...
      if test "$linkmode,$pass" = "lib,link"; then
       ## FIXME: Find the place where the list is rebuilt in the wrong
       ##        order, and fix it there properly
        tmp_deplibs=
       for deplib in $deplibs; do
         tmp_deplibs="$deplib $tmp_deplibs"
       done
       deplibs="$tmp_deplibs"
      fi

Which you committed in September last year (the patch was from Andreas). I 
was annoyed because our testsuite does not cover this case and removal of 
this code shows no changes in test results. Therefore I cannot remove this 
code :(

It has no bearing whatever on recent activities :)
