2) If he is right, what should I do to remove those "dependencies" ?
(flag to pass in a variable in my Makefile.am, or something like that)
You can pass -Wl,--as-needed when the linker is the GNU binutils one.
But beware that it may break things with some compilers (notably C++
ones), with some apps that do dlopen and expect dependencies to be
present, and did not work right in some older versions of ld.
Do you have an idea if:
* it works on Windows (mingw binutils) ?
No. I wouldn't even know that indirect deps work on w32, or whether
they help there.
Ok, i'll wait for a mingw dev to answer.
* from which version of ld it is safe to use that flag ?
Look at the gnulib module lib-ignore, for a pointer for more
information, and a macro to use --as-needed when possible.
for posterity: according to NEWS of ld, it as been introduced in binutils
2.15 (mid 2004)
