? Conversely, ranlib is not really necessary if you have lorder and tsort.
? (If tsort reports a circular dependency, the solution is to merge the objects
? in question into a single module, either with `ld -r' or by recompiling them
? as a single source.)

Or search the library as many times as the longest cycle :-)
