Take a look at the examples directory. Specifically, the GNUmakerules
in examples/x86 and examples/x86/extended. These illustrate the
current linker/library complexity, and hopefully they will provide a
useful guide for folks.

Correct. We are currently working on this. The C library is the source
of many of these problems since it is the source and target of many
dependencies. Our new C libraries will be fully COMified, with all of
the linktime dependencies converted to dyanmic dependencies. Already,
the link lines in the example kernels are greatly simplified from what
they were.
Of course, this is a gradual process. There are many oskit libraries
and it will be some time before it is all done. However, we *do* hope
to have the C library changes ready for the next release (whenever
that is :-))
