Relocatable lib calling external C libs: undefined references

Relocatable lib calling external C libs: undefined references

[hreba]

Trying for several days now, I don't get my project to link when I use 
relocatable libraries, and only then.

First, I made a thin binding to GSL (GNU Scientific Library). The .ads 
files were generated with "g++ -c -fdump-ada-spec ...",  with some 
corrections. The result used here is gsl_integration_h.ads.

 From that, I made a thick binding, called Integration.

And finally, I wrote a test program Test_Integration which imports a 
test function from package Test_Integ_Aux.

The subprogram call graph is
                                       Test_Integration
                                      /                \
   thick -->      Integration.Integration_QNG    Test_Integ_Aux.Circle
                        |
      gsl_integration_h.gsl_integration_qng     <-- thin

The project files are:

-- gsl_thin.gpr --

library project GSL_Thin is

    for Source_Dirs use (".");
    for Library_Dir use "lib";
    for Object_Dir use "obj";
    for Library_Name use "gsl_thin";
    for Library_Kind use "relocatable";
    for Externally_Built use "false";

    package Compiler is
       for Default_Switches ("ada") use ("-g");
    end Compiler;

    package Linker is
       for Linker_Options use ("-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu", "-lgsl", 
"-lgslcblas");
    end Linker;

end GSL_Thin;

-- gsl.gpr --

with "Thin/gsl_thin";

library project GSL is

    for Source_Dirs use (".");
    for Object_Dir use "obj";
    for Library_Dir use "lib";
    for Library_Name use "gsl";
    for Library_Kind use "relocatable";
    for Library_Interface use ("Integration");
    for Externally_Built use "false";

    package Compiler is
       for Default_Switches ("ada") use ("-g");
    end Compiler;

    package Linker is
       for Linker_Options use ("-g");
    end Linker;

end GSL;

-- test_integration.gpr --

with "../Library/gsl";

project Test_Integration is

    for Source_Dirs use (".");
    for Object_Dir use "obj";
    for Exec_Dir use ".";
    for Main use ("test_integration.adb");

    package Compiler is
       for Default_Switches ("ada") use ("-g");
    end Compiler;

    package Linker is
       for Linker_Options use ("-g");
    end Linker;

end Test_Integration;


When I call gprbuild with the last one, I get

When I look with nm into libgsl.so I see indeed gsl_integration_qng 
undefined:
                  U gsl_integration_qng
and a little below:
0000000000002090 T integration__integration_qng

When compiling the libraries as static, the program works, but whatever 
project variation I try with relocatable ones, I get this linking error. 
I even made some simpler examples with relocatable libraries and without 
external C libraries, with corresponding project files, and they all 
work. So I don't know what to try else.
