What's wrong with adding -framework flags to the end? I do this all the time and have yet to run into problems.

I don't know what's wrong. Sometimes it works for me too, but often it doesn't, and when it doesn't, putting them at the front seems to fix it.

Apple's man page for ld says that placement of the -framework options is important... but doesn't say anything about where they're supposed to be. Not very helpful.

I'd be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this. It causes me no end of hassles whenever I try to compile an extension.
