When building the package using an ARM cross compiler (gcc 4.2.2 for ARM) I was getting a lot of warnings from the compiler repetitively. They were, "--as-needed: linker input file unused because linking not done" and "--gc-sections: linker input file unused because linking not done" These were coming out because the were passed to libtool as flags when doing both "compile" mode and "link" mode. But the flags only make since when we are doing linking. I created the following patches to fix the warnings, because although the warnings aren't actually causing a problem, they make it harder to see actual warnings or turn on Werror.
