--- Comment #1 from RazvanN <razvan.nitu1305@gmail.com> ---
What would be the result of this? Normally you link a library with your code. If you simply pass a library to the compiler what should the compiler do? Most libraries (if not all) don't have a main function so what is the compiler supposed to do if you provide it with a library?

I think that this behavior should not be supported.
