Try   gcc -v   and   ld -v   for the version numbers.

The linker determines dependencies by processing the link archives
sequentially, but there are many long-chain cross-dependencies between
Prelude.T.a and Runtime.T.a.  Thus we need to add numerous copies
of both archives to the sequence, to ensure the dependencies can be
followed right to the end of the chain.

Using 'nm PreludeT.a', you should find that FN_Prelude_46mkSR is defined
in HatArchive.T.o.  If it is not, can you check whether HatArchive.T.o
is included in the archive at all?
