FTBFS with ld --as-needed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

libnxt fails to build on Debian when ld defaults to --as-needed because as it 
passes the libraries to the linker in the wrong order.

Build log:

gcc -o fwflash -z relro main_fwflash.o -L. -lusb -lnxt
../libnxt.a(lowlevel.o): In function `nxt_init':
/build/buildd/libnxt-0.3/lowlevel.c:49: undefined reference to `usb_init'
../libnxt.a(lowlevel.o): In function `nxt_find':
/build/buildd/libnxt-0.3/lowlevel.c:60: undefined reference to `usb_find_busses'
