Hi Philip,

What you want is partial linking.  See the description of the --relocatable 
linker command line switch in the linker manual.  Couple that with whole 
archive linking and you should get the result you want.  ie something like this 
will probably work:

   % gcc *.cc wrapper.o -Wl,--whole-archive -lglpk -Wl,--no-whole-archive
     -Wl,--relocatable -o hebe.o

Cheers
   Nick
