Bug ID: 80407
Summary: --as-needed cannot be combined with -flto
Product: gcc
Version: 6.3.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: lto
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: dilyan.palauzov at aegee dot org
Target Milestone: ---

Sample
With the attached package I do ./configure and
make clean && make LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" && ./m -- works, prints x
make clean && CFLAGS="-flto" make && ./m -- works, prints x
make clean && make CFLAGS="-flto" LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" && ./m -- does not
work, prints x-0.libs/lt-m: symbol lookup error: x-0/.libs/libx.so.0: undefined
symbol: x
Why doesn't --as-needed work with LTO?
It happens when I use GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.28.51.20170411 with either GCC
7.0.1 20170411 or GCC 6.3.1 20170329.
