(Resending updated patches... hopefully got it right this time)

There is an occasional race observed when building Busybox.
It has been discussed on Busybox mailing list (see:
https://www.mail-archive.com/busybox@busybox.net/msg23244.html )

There were several Busybox attempts to fix this issue:
0dddbc1a59795a77679d8c5ef48a2795cb470563 ("build system: always rewrite NUM_APPLETS.h")
d8e61bbf13d0cf38d477255cfd5dc71c5d51d575 ("build system: different fix for include/applet_tables.h/include/NUM_APPLETS.h")

Although the patches alleviated the problem somewhat, the race can still be observed.
The error is consistently the same:

libbb/appletlib.c:164:13: error: 'NUM_APPLETS' undeclared (first use in this function)
  while (i < NUM_APPLETS) {

The reason is the include file where NUM_APPLETS is defined is not yet generated (or is being modified)
at the time libbb/appletlib.c is compiled.
The attached patch fixes the problem by assuring libb is compiled as the last directory.
