The testing library is ccs which is out there for many years.
It has been used for SGI, DEC, SunOS4, Solaris, Solaris x86,
FreeBSD 1.x - 2.x, BSD/OS 2.x - 4.0, Linux 2.0.x - 2.1.x.

This is the first time failed to link programs under FreeBSD 3.0,
so I created simple files a.c b.c c.c for testing.
I thought this may be related to -aout options; but after -static
flag is suceeded, I believe the problem is directly related to "ld".
It is not related to ar or tsort because a b c are very simple files
and -static flag for ld will resolve the symbol issue.
