Doesn't your grand plan include supporting Prefix and Interix with PE |

I know projects that need to work around static initialization not being |
| 16 |
reliable - they only happen to have done that for other reasons (such as |
| 17 |
Windows PE format, iirc) years before --as-needed was implemented for |
| 18 |
binutils. |

Standards is one thing - reality is something quite different. |

The reality is that everything designed to work everywhere is just |
| 21 |
mighty happy with --as-needed and lots of benefits to gain from it. |
