sloppy linking. move the objects *before* the libraries

Doko, thanks. The command line

gcc -g -O2 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -o foomatic-perl-data foomatic-perl-data.c -lxml2

did the trick. I will change this upstream.

Fixed upstream in HEAD branch of foomatic-db-engine, rev 295.

This bug was fixed in the package foomatic-db-engine - 4.0.6-0ubuntu1

---------------
foomatic-db-engine (4.0.6-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     - Rearranged gcc command line so that linking works with gcc 4.5.x
       (LP: #687973).
     - Allow generating a printer XML files also from more than one PPD file
       for the same printer with only one call of the foomatic-ppd-to-xml
       script.
     - When generating XML files, use exactly the same style as the
       OpenPrinting web server uses on daily synchronization. This avoids
       automatic BZR commits without real changes.
     - Personal comments and optional suppression of automatic driver
       assignments when generating printer XML files from PPDs with
       foomatic-ppd-to-xml.
     - Let the functions of the DB.pm Perl module not abort the whole program
       when a C helper program fails.
     - When generating PPDs with foomatic-ppdfile (also
       /usr/lib/cups/driver/foomatic) handle driver names with a dash (like
       "hpijs-pcl3") correctly.
     - Documented special entities for inserting job parameters into
       renderer command line code snippets, like "&job;", "&user;", "&host;",
       "&title;", "&options;", ...
  * debian/patches/db-pm-do-not-die-on-c-helper-failure.patch,
    debian/patches/fix-ppd-generation-for-driver-name-with-dash.patch: Removed
    patches with upstream fixes.
