incorrect argument reordering

Binary package hint: libtool

i have ubuntu 9.04 amd64 desktop and libtool 2.2.6a-1ubuntu1
when i set LDFLAGS='-Wl,--as-needed' during ./configure of an original source package, that flag gets put at the way end of a link command (ld/gcc blah blah blah -Wl,--as-needed..) by libtool. that makes libtool useless basically

the patch puts $linker_flags ahead of $libobjs and $deplibs

sorry, it should be "that makes --as-needed useless basically"

on my ubuntu 9.04 amd64 desktop i get (takes a couple of minutes):

./depCheck.sh > out.txt
947 of 1839 shared libraries found are sub-optimal
Avg # of unused dependencies for those: 9.054
(890 weird, 5 statically linked or not dynamic)

ldd -r -u /usr/lib/evolution/2.26/plugins/liborg-gnome-gw-account-setup.so
is the winner with 57 ud...
