Greetings:
We're wrestling with Aztec C-86 3.40a for MS-DOS (1986)
and have no docs; we'd very much appreciate a description
of command line args and switches for the various tools
(if anyone can still find this info), especially the
linker 'ln.exe'.
We've compiled objects and libraries for a version of KA9Q
specifically modified for a newer version of Aztec C
(we needed to remove function prototypes and do other
workarounds) but the linker chokes on backward references
to unresolved symbols. Reordering the objects in libraries
is not feasable as a workaround since that would create another
set of backward references. There must be a way to get the linker
to work properly on its two passes...
All replies much appreciated.

Acording to the manual, You must have the symbol resolved before use. No
backwards refs allowed.
You resolve it by structuring your code and setting up link order on the
command line, i'll send you the pages
Sorry.
