I cannot reproduce this. I took a Debian 10.7 distribution, with gcc-8 as
compiler package. I created a testdir for all of gnulib. I configured it
in 3 ways:
  - the normal way,
  - with LDFLAGS="... -Wl,--as-needed"
  - with CFLAGS="... -Wl,--as-needed"
and in all cases the build succeeded and all tests passed.

So, you need to give *precise* instructions for how to reproduce it.

Without reproducing, no one can give an analysis nor a fix.
