+     which is a topological sort.
+
+     We go from maps[nmaps - 1] backwards towards maps[0] at this level.
+     Due to the breadth-first search (BFS) ordering we receive, going
+     backwards usually gives a more shallow depth-first recursion depth,
+     adding more stack usage safety. Also, combined with the natural
+     processing order of l_initfini[] at each node during DFS, this maintains
+     an ordering closer to the original link ordering in the sorting results
+     under most simpler cases.
+
+     Another reason we order the top level backwards, it that maps[0] is
+     usually exactly the main object of which we're in the midst of
+     _dl_map_object_deps() processing, and maps[0]->l_initfini[] is still
+     blank. If we start the traversal from maps[0], since having no
+     dependencies yet filled in, maps[0] will always be immediately
+     incorrectly placed at the last place in the order (first in reverse).
+     Adjusting the order so that maps[0] is last traversed naturally avoids
+     this problem.
+
+     Further, the old "optimization" of skipping the main object at maps[0]
+     from the call-site (i.e. _dl_sort_maps(maps+1,nmaps-1)) is in general
+     no longer valid, since traversing along object dependency-links
+     may "find" the main object even when it is not included in the initial
+     order (e.g. a dlopen()'ed shared object can have circular dependencies
+     linked back to itself). In such a case, traversing N-1 objects will
+     create a N-object result, and raise problems.
+
+     To summarize, just passing in the full list, and iterating from back
+     to front makes things much more straightforward.  */
