  Can we then assume that the cernlib build process is doing something
unneccessary or unusual or incorrect?

  Well, add '-v' to the command lines you've been demonstrating, and see
what's actually getting passed to the linker.  It should all become clear in
terms of the linker's requirement that undefined references must always come
in objects earlier than the symbols that satisfy those references.
