I asked the Oracle Helpdesk that one.
Apparently libsqlnet.a needs some routines in libora.a. Those routines in libora.a need some different routines in libsqlnet.a Those routine in libsqlnet.a need more routines from libora.a

Libraries are searched when the name is encountered on the command line, and only searched for the routines needed at that point in the linking.

Stupid isn't it?
