As a general rule you should put the output of "pkg-config --cflags"
_before_ the linking objects, and the output of "pkg-config --libs"
_after_ them.

For instance GNU Make uses two different variables for that: LDFLAGS for
the former and LDLIBS for the latter, and uses a command like this:

  $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) n.o $(LOADLIBES) $(LDLIBS)

I guess this has to do with how 'ld' handles its arguments.

Ciao,
