You could be looking for code not supposed to work under Solaris or |
| 8 |
Windows, as the --as-needed behaviour behaves a lot like the standard |
| 9 |
Sun linker and the forced behaviour of the PE executable format. |

The only thing that can be broken by using --as-needed is code that |
| 12 |
assumes the order in calling the .init sections of a set of shared |
| 13 |
objects. Such an order is not only changed by --as-needed usage but by |
| 14 |
any other change in the loading mechanism. It is strictly related to |
| 15 |
glibc at this point as far as I can tell. |
