I was suggesting to keep -lrte_acl at the same place in the group of
algorithms libraries, in order to keep an order satisfying this comment:
# Order is important: from higher level to lower level

But I have not tested if --whole-archive -lrte_acl --no-whole-archive works.

Sorry, I missed that.

Why is important being before jobstats and power?
