One concern is that -Wl,--as-needed requires greater accuracy with the ordering of objects and
libraries as you link. Also, if a package uses a library indirectly, i.e. A uses C via B: A -> B -> C,
--as-needed will peel away C and break A unless A explicitly mentions its need for C. Of course
that should be the case already, but you're going to see a number of weaknesses in the various
packages revealed by adding --as-needed.
