[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#677671: grcompiler: fails to build with ld --as-needed

grcompiler fails to build with ld --as-needed
this flag requires libraries to be placed after objects needing
their symbols.
this is due to configure.ac putting libraries in the LDFLAGS
variable
the LIBS variable is supposed to be used for libraries

see the buildlog in ubuntu:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/107178879/buildlog_ubuntu-quantal-i386.grcompiler_4.2~pre6-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz


attached a patch paching configure and configure.am
the former can be dropped when you regenerate the autotools
files.
