[Bug gold/10238] Gold linker does not resolve symbols using indirect dependencies

I'm confused about whether gold's lack of DT_NEEDED resolution is
intended to affect only pure-indirect or merely mixed-direct-indirect
dependencies.  Specifically:

liba { int a() { return b(); } }
libb { int b() { return 0; } }

main() { a() }   -la   # libb a pure indirect dependency
- versus -
main() { b() }   -la   # libb a direct dependency

If the latter, I'm more sympathetic to the desire to have a program state
its own direct depencencies.

If the former, I'm more sympathetic to a program not having to know all the
indirect dependencies of all of its shared libraries.
