This just adds the parameters for ld to use the libs.

You snipped:

+$(OBJ_DIR)/$(TARGET)_app.o: $(APP_OBJS) app.lds $(LIBS)

which adds a dependency on the libs. Now mini-os_app.o will be relinked
if any of the libs changed. That was not the case before. I realized
that a modification of libxc wouldn't make it into pvgrub if I didn't
do a "make clean" and pvgrub was built before.
