Dependencies link in the wrong order

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create three projects, A, B & C compiled as static libraries, with 'Link 
Library Dependencies' enabled
2. Set up dependencies as B depends on A, C depends on A and B. Set C as the 
Default Project
3. Attempt to compile

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is a successful compile & link. However, looking at the command 
line for linking C, the dependencies are placed in order of dependence: A is 
first, then B. However, GCC links in reverse order to Visual Studio (most 
dependent library should come first), so there is a linker error when trying to 
link in library B without any of the symbols defined in A.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
vs-android 0.93, Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.
This issue can be worked around by turning off 'link library dependencies' and 
specifying libraries in the correct order under Additional Inputs, using the 
'-lname' syntax. Ideally, either the dependencies could be echoed to the 
command line in reverse order or surrounded with -( <dependencies> -) or 
--start-group <dependencies> --end-group which will prompt GCC to recursively 
try to resolve missing symbols. I tried making this change myself, but it seems 
to be something either locked into the build system or is controlled inside the 
DLL

This can also be worked around by enabling 'Use Library Dependency Inputs', but 
it's not the best option for very large projects.

Confirmed I have the same error, However I found another way to solve it, I 
just change ther order of the libraries on the "Additiona Dependencies" field.
