8 I think you're looking for the wrong things. I'm not an expert, but I
9 think --as-needed means that if there are 20 libraries on your system
10 that use libexpat.so.0 and 400 programs that use those 20 libraries,
11 when libexpat is updated to libexpat.so.1, you only need to rebuild the
12 20 libraries, not all 420 packages (as you would do otherwise). I
13 believe that's the main reason for using as-needed...
