How does that fix anything?  Where do -ltre and -lintl come from?  Are
you adding them to $LIBS?  If so then that's not going to work as you've
still got the wrong order.

Wow.  Just.  Wow.  That makefile is just unbelievable.  (Unbelievably
bad that is.)  I wonder if the author was molested by automake as a kid
and was scarred for life.  Nothing else explains the reasoning for doing
things like copying the same rule over and over for every .o file.
