Wrong, this would only apply to .a libraries; but *_SYS_LIBS in question
are all "-l*"-s.

Instead, libtool was remembering the args in the xservertest.la file as
dependencies, then appending them to test/{string,list,...} link command
after the test/.libs/xservertest.a .

As there is nothing now that tells libtool that the former xservertest.la
components depend on the *_SYS_LIBS, moving "-l"-s to the end of ld command
has to be done manually.
