Well, that should work fine, although the libs are generally 
referenced after the object files that require them, which you 
have for dl and util.

ld changed a while back now (around Fedora 13 or 14 I think) 
which introduced similar behaviour. This may provide some more

Sorry I cannot really help....hopefully a D/Linux guru out there 
know more?
