When trying to compile a project including newest Spasm (DUB
package) using the newest LDC via DUB, the result is:
```
lld: error: unknown argument: --no-as-needed
```
I then ran DUB with -v switch and it turned out the invocation
contained `-L--no-as-needed` as first of all the -L arguments.
The trouble is, how do I know what causes DUB to add that
argument to the invocation? I could find no reason in
`dub.<json/sdl>` files of either my package, Spasm or any
package in Spasm dependency tree.
Dub is open-source, so you can grep the source. - Dub uses it for
all 3 compilers (e.g.,
https://github.com/dlang/dub/blob/f87302dd206b0e5871b39704e694b2194e294aa5/source/dub/compilers/ldc.d#L249), and I'm not sure it's really needed. Anyway, you can also use another linker that supports this flag (e.g., via `-linker=gold`).
