does this means that the xcb lib api has started to be supported? i've tried
it some weeks ago and the packages depending on libxcb-xlib.so.0 refused to
build by any means. now i've tried to build cairo from git with xcb but it
doesn't build since it doesn't find xcb (maybe it's using the new api).

ps. i've been using --as-needed for quite some time and i've never had any
issue with it.
