The loader looks at all the symbol tables on the
contained files. Have you tried
extracting the files in the archive and running nm on them?
It seems that in glibc the file efgcvt.c just wraps ecvt to a call to
sprintf so there's really isn't a ecvt.c (and thus no ecvt.o) but
efgcvt.o instead.

Ar only reports the file names inserted. The loader looks at all the
