build: list libraries at the end of the linker command

Static libraries should be added at the end of the linker command, after
all object files. If that isn't done, that's _usually_ not a problem,
unless there are duplicate symbols. In that case, weird dependency
issues can arise. To solve that, object files (that may include symbols
to override symbols in the library) should be listed first on the
command line and then the static libraries should be listed.

This fixes an issue with overriding some symbols in wasi-libc.
