There is a second change to the linking in natty; as announced in [1], --no-add-needed/--no-copy-dt-needed-entries is passed by default, with the current gcc in natty, --as-needed is passed as well. Please see [2] for implications (runtime failures) and a list of packages which might be affected.
To revert this change on a per package basis, pass --no-as-needed to the linker (-Wl,--no-as-needed in LDFLAGS). To add an explicit dependency on a library use --no-as-needed -lfoo --as-needed. Please tag bug reports with `as-needed' if you see runtime failures caused by this change (mostly unresolvable symbols referenced by plugins and ldopened objects).
