Bugfix: Linking problem with cap_free and other dependencies not being found.

The linker has some order of operations problem where the static library being dependended on must be added after the library depending on it is declared.

Therefore `libcap.a` must be after `libfll.a` and similar.

Featureless Make might need changes to improve control over the order of linkage.
