Libtool was moving the *.O libraries in front of all others on

ld -r was used not because of libtool, but because the dtrace data in the
ELF files gets properly included in a relocatable object, but not a static
library. (This is probably because of a misuse of ELF by dtrace, but that's
the way it works, and has for over a decade.)
