No, I did NOT use "-aout". If I use -aout, I got this:

ar cr libtest.a `lorder a.o b.o c.o | tsort`;
/usr/libexec/elf/nm: a.o: File format not recognized
/usr/libexec/elf/nm: b.o: File format not recognized
/usr/libexec/elf/nm: c.o: File format not recognized
mv libtest.a /usr/local/lib
ranlib /usr/local/lib/libtest.a

The errors are from lorder, but library was built, and cc worked.

Also, I just found another problem for elf/ld that does not use ENV
variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If -Lsomething is not specified, the elf/ld
just look at /usr/lib, regardless what LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to.
