The easiest fix is to make use of GNU ld's --as-needed flag, which
ignores linker arguments that are not actually needed by the specified
object files. The attached patch modifies configure to check for this
flag (when using GNU ld),

What do you mean by this? I moved the AC_MSG_NOTICEs for CPPFLAGS and
LDFLAGS down below the --as-needed check, since the --as-needed check
may modify LDFLAGS.
Also, please s/same platforms/some platforms/

Well, I guess the question is why you put the --as-needed check where
you did, rather than above the existing AC_MSG_NOTICE displays. If it
has an interaction with the intervening tests, what is that exactly?
PGAC_PROG_LD needs to be invoked to figure out if we're using gnu ld.
