I don't entirely understand your problem, but if it's that ld fails to
resolve references from app to a symbol that's only defined in libB
when you just passed -lA, this is a known/intentional binutils change
(I would call it a regression -- it broke -lcurses API with ncurses)
from something like a decade or two ago. Unless you want to fight with
it, the solution is just "don't do that". I believe pkgconf and/or
libtool stuff works around this if you're using them. In any case your
problem probably has more to do with versions or configuration of
tooling than with musl.
