Today's GCC 4.5 update in natty reverts the ld --as-needed default just for the natty release. All issues with ld --as-needed in main were resolved until alpha3 release, and a good number in universe too. There is however still a large number of packages in the archive which don't build yet with this default, so to concentrate on more important issues, this default is reverted again, and will re-enabled with the start of the o-series.
Please do not drop ld --as-needed related patches because the package seems to build with them. Many thanks to all those submitters for the around ~350 patches applied in natty.
