Hello Igor, that specific flag should be in LDFLAGS, but there are reasons, we do NOT have it in there, because it will likely break any binaries built from or containing FORTRAN sources. They will simply SEGFAULT, because `-Wl,--as-needed` causes some needed runtime libraries NOT being linked with them, because the linker thinks they are not needed / would over link. Cheers, Björn
