Description

LINK_FLAGS variable holds additional options for linking, such as some LDFLAGS and LIBS.
During linking cmake places this variable before object files and we got something like this:

/usr/bin/gcc -std=gnu99 -Wall -g -Wshadow -W -pedantic -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lpcre

gcc manual says about -l flag: It makes a difference where in the command you write this option; the linker searches and processes libraries and object files in the order they are specified. Thus, `foo.o -lz bar.o' searches library `z' after file foo.o but before bar.o. If bar.o refers to functions in `z', those functions may not be loaded.

if i manually move LINK_FLAGS to end of command then linking completes succesfully.

software:
cmake v2.8.7
gcc v4.6.3
make v3.81
