Public bug reported:
$ cat > test.c <<EOF
#include <time.h>
int main() {
struct timespec ts;
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts);
return 0;
}
EOF
$ gcc -o test -lrt test.c
test.c:(.text+0x15): undefined reference to `clock_gettime'
Adding -Wl,--no-as-needed before -lrt makes it link. Using gold instead
of BFD ld also makes it link. There is no reason why -Wl,--as-needed
-lrt (--as-needed being the ubuntu default) should drop -lrt when one of
its symbol is used, especially when dropping it makes the linkage
fail...
