Micah, thanks for your patch, it will be included in the next package that I'm preparing at the moment.
As Debian is recommending to use --as-needed by default I'm going to do that and are only wondering why Ubuntu backed that out again (at least temporarily according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ToolchainTransition) Would me using "--as-needed" create any problems for you Ubuntu folks? Regards, Raoul
