Workaround is the correct term here.  The correct thing would be for g++ to=
 not
reorder -l arguments.  The similarity to -I is superficial: duplicated -l
arguments have meaning (with static archives for instance) and their positi=
on
in relation to object and source files matters.  g++ can validly tack on
additional -l arguments to the end, and arguably also replace a lone -lc
argument that was originally at the end of the command line or implicit (e.=
g.
to inject its unwinder), but it shouldn't otherwise reorder such arguments.

I will of course agree that the issue that the added -lc "solves" is actual=
ly
a bug in the testcase (and gdb).  But that should be immaterial here.  At t=
he
very least gcc and g++ should behave the same in this respect.=
