The problem is the order of -defaultlib and -L is fixed as:

1. -L flags
2. libraries on the command line
3. libraries specified by pragma(lib)
4. standard libraries (also -debuglib, -defaultlib libraries)

I suggest the straightforward approach of the order of (1), (2), and (4) be
determined by the order in which they appear on the command line.

That leaves (3), and I suggest that be inserted immediately before (4).

This may break existing build systems, though.
