Ensure link commands list *.o files before LDFLAGS.
It's important for link commands to list *.o input files before -l
switches for libraries, as library code may not get pulled into the link
unless referenced by an earlier command-line entry. This is certainly
necessary for static libraries (.a style). Apparently on some platforms
it is also necessary for shared libraries, as reported by Donald Dong.
We often put -l switches for within-tree libraries into LDFLAGS, meaning
that link commands that list *.o files after LDFLAGS are hazardous.
Most of our link commands got this right, but a few did not. In
particular, places that relied on gmake's default implicit link rule
failed, because that puts LDFLAGS first. Fix that by overriding the
built-in rule with our own. The implicit link rules in
src/makefiles/Makefile.* for single-.o-file shared libraries mostly
got this wrong too, so fix them. I also changed the link rules for the
backend and a couple of other places for consistency, even though they
are not (currently) at risk because they aren't adding any -l switches
to LDFLAGS.
Arguably, the real problem here is that we're abusing LDFLAGS by
putting -l switches in it and we should stop doing that. But changing
that would be quite invasive, so I'm not eager to do so.
Perhaps this is a candidate for back-patching, but so far it seems
that problems can only be exhibited in test code we don't normally
build, and at least some of the problems are new in HEAD anyway.
So I'll refrain for now.
