Symbols in a library.a are loaded if required (ie, if something before
-l rary requires symbol foo, and module bar.o in library.a contains a
definition of foo, then bar.o is "extracted" from library.a and linked
in).

If on the other hand you include bar.o on the ld command line, it's
linked unconditionally.
