If you use ld --as-needed (which is by default in some distributions), you
should write all -l options after, not before .o files (and .a file is
just a collection of .o) which use symbols from that -l libs, or they will
be ignored. 

Note also that if -lfoo resolves to static lib, this behavior will be
always the same even without --as-needed.

Normally if you use autotools, all that you need to do is writing your
-lfoo to LDADD/LIBADD, not LDFLAGS. But if you link internal static libs
to your binaries, you still need to check the order of -l and .a .
