I think it's a great idea, and have wanted to see this feature in Unix for a
long time. Yes, there will need to be some cooperation with gcc, but that could
be as simple as a note section, from which the linker could read additional -l
options. There will be some additional complexity in determining where in the
link order these additional options should be placed: a complete solution would
have each library and each relocatable object note all of its direct
dependencies so that the linker could construct a topological ordering. At that
point, you could in theory just say "ld main.o" and get a working program out.
