when they sort the quoting gcc will see arguments containing the
backtick as strings with the backtick in them.

hopefully they'll get to the ordering issue first.

I'm guessing you could turn it on its head and put all the other flags
and libraries and flags in the LINKFLAGS 

I think you can use 
  
  env.Append(LINKFLAGS = Split(`pkg-config .....`));

I might try that later.
