Problem with --as-needed flag

[Sergio Belkin]

There is a issue with --as-needed that it's ignored when using with automake:

You can take a look the Makefile.am on:

http://pastebin.com/jn4kiqTd

noinst_PROGRAMS are linking against "all libraries mentioned on the command line" and not only "against libraries that  satisfy  some  symbol  reference  from  regular  objects  which  is  undefined  at the point that the library was linked" as ld manpage states.


Is there a workaround for it?

Thanks in advance
