In recent versions of Fedora and Ubuntu, ld defaults to the equivalent of
--no-add-needed, which is faster and arguably more correct, but stricter. Some
projects fail to compile with this ld behaviour, for instance Bug #29274.

It'd be good for developers' builds to check that this still works, even when
not on Fedora/Ubuntu; this branch arranges for that to happen.
