Looks better and better. A couple more comments:

- I tried the script on the output of gvim, and it erroneously tried to
  find libatk-1.0.a. The problem was in this line:

  x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -L/usr/lib64   -L/usr/lib64   -rdynamic
  -L/usr/local/lib  -o gvim <snip object files> -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0
  -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0
  -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lXt -lncurses -lacl -lgpm   -rdynamic
  -L/usr/local/lib
  /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/x86_64-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
  -L/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/x86_64-linux/CORE -lperl -lutil -lc
  -L/usr/lib/python2.4/config -lpython2.4 -L/usr/lib64 -lz -lutil -lm
  -Xlinker -export-dynamic static

  As you can see, it's the "static" in the end of the line. Maybe you
  should grep for "-static" instead.

- I'm sure I've seen makefiles that use tabs instead of spaces to
  separate the -l arguments. Maybe you should replace the space with a
  [:space:] or something?

- To avoid eventual problems with similarly named libraries (libpam and
  libpam_misc for example; grepping for -lpam would also match
  -lpam_misc) you could grep for "\<-l${libname}\>" instead. This would
  also solve the space-or-tab problem.
