I've just built sysutils/rox (ROX-Filer) on my system which is 1.6I
(but a week or so old).  The needed list is almost the same as that
above, except that I don't have libpangoxft, and I have libX11.so.6
in place of crtend.o - this is much more reasonable.

Except that I don't think anything should be coming after libc???

The final link command expands to:
cc -o ROX-Filer action.o appinfo.o appmenu.o bind.o choices.o collection.o
	dir.o diritem.o display.o dnd.o filer.o find.o fscache.o
	gconvert.o gtksavebox.o gui_support.o i18n.o icon.o infobox.o
	main.o menu.o minibuffer.o modechange.o mount.o options.o
	panel.o pinboard.o pixmaps.o remote.o rox_gettext.o run.o

	-liconv

	-L/usr/pkg/lib -liconv -lm
	-lICE -lSM

So libX11.so.6 isn't explicitly requested in for the link.
There are NEEDED entries for it in libpangox and libgdk-x11 but these
shouldn't cause the program to have such an entry (should they?).

Looks to me like ld is adding on a extra NEEDED extry with a
random string in it?
