Subject: [PATCH] Accept slightly grotty coding in Makefile.global in order to
 keep the -L flag for src/port/ in front of any -L flags placed in LDFLAGS by
 configure. This undoes an L-flag-ordering change that I had thought would be
 safe, but seems to be making at least one buildfarm member fail --- the only
 theory for orca's failure that I can think of is that it's got an old copy of
 libpgport.a in /usr/lib.  Also allow for LDFLAGS_SL to be set by contrib
 makefiles before they invoke Makefile.global.
