Specifying Flag Order?

I'm using mysql in a program. Here is a snipped of my Makefile.am:

    project_LDADD += -lboost_thread
    project_LDADD += -lboost_regex
    project_LDADD += -lboost_system

    AM_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib
    AM_LDFLAGS += `mysql_config --libs_r`
    AM_LDFLAGS += `mysql_config --include`
    AM_LDFLAGS += -std=c++0x
    AM_LDFLAGS += `mysql_config --cflags`

When I compile the program, automake generated:

    g++  -g -O2 -L/usr/local/lib `mysql_config --libs_r` `mysql_config
--include` -std=c++0x
    `mysql_config --cflags`  -o /[ ... a bunch of .o files ... ]/
-lboost_thread -lboost_regex
    -lboost_system

As expected, since g++ needs linker flags at the end I get a bunch of
compile errors saying the `mysql_*` functions don't exist. How do I
specify for the linker flags to go at the end? I tried to put them in
the project_LDADD macro but automake complained:

    Makefile.am:13: linker flags such as `--libs_r`' belong in
`project_LDFLAGS

Which got me back to square one. I must be doing something wrong. Any
ideas? This has been bugging me for days. Thanks in advance.
