The primary use case is the gcc toolset, which is sensitive to library order: if library 'a' uses symbols from library 'b', then 'a' must be present before 'b' on the linker's command line. This requirement can be lifted for gcc with GNU ld, but for gcc with Solaris LD (and for Solaris toolset as well), the order always matters. So, we need to store order requirements and then order libraries according to them. It it not possible to use dependency graph as order requirements. What we need is "use symbols" relationship while dependency graph provides "needs to be updated" relationship. For example:: lib a : a.cpp b; lib b ; For static linking, the 'a' library need not depend on 'b'. However, it still should come before 'b' on the command line.
