I think using --as-neded is crack and people don't know what they are
doing when they use this. That said I'd be willing to merge a patch
that adds -Wl,--no-as-needed to LDFLAGS if it is supported, just to
avoid further bug reports about this. Would you be willing to cook up
a patch?

Thanks,

Lennart
