Seems like a typical case with GNOME project stuff. Do you know if there are something what might contribute to potential problems with --as-needed, like outdated toolchain? So far we're reluctant to use --as-needed where it may be beneficial because in theory it might break something. However what's the practical likehood of that? Do we know any particular example of --as-needed incompatibility to look into and analyse?
