Please recall that this is a GNU binutils flag. I prefer the environment flag over the command-line option, because it doesn't break other linkers, but if it implies many ebuilds getting -Wl,--no-as-needed append-ldflagged, then I'm not getting happy as that breaks my builds. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level
