[Cmake] how to instruct the gnu linker (ld) to search an archive for multiple times

[Bill Hoffman]

You should be able to add it to the CMAKE_CXX_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS.
However, it would not be that portable, as it is possible to use
gcc with with system linkers, also, I guess you would have to repeate
<archives>.   

You may be able to list the libraries more than once to get the same effect.

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(foo bar foo bar foo bar)
That would scan foo and bar three times.
It would also work for other linkers than gnu ld.
