HP-UX Linker and Libraries User's Guide

The lorder command overlooks object files whose names do not end with .o, even when contained
in library archives, and attributes their global symbols and references to some other file.
Example 15 Finding Object Library Ordering Relationships with lorder(1)
• Build a new library from existing .o files:
$ ar cr library `lorder *.o | tsort`
• When creating libraries with so many objects that the shell cannot properly handle the *.o
expansion, the following method may prove useful:
$ ls |grep '.o$'|lorder|tsort|xargs ar cq library
