        The dlpreopen pass over libraries reverses the elements in the
        $deplibs list.  This causes problems when the link pass tries to
        find libraries when they are located in non-standard places
        denoted by -L options.  Due to the reversed order these -L options
        occur after the libraries that need them, and they are not found:

        * config/ltmain.in: (Un)Reverse $deplibs list at the start of the
        link pass in lib mode.

Yes, this was a year ago. Sorry to reply to such an ancient commit, but it 
really needs a testcase, all tests pass with this patch removed, that is not 
a good thing.
