Never mind.  Debian's binutils does not support that option yet.

Question for everybody: the linker adds a library to DT_NEEDED
which is not mentioned in the link command line.  It is found
as DT_NEEDED entry in a dependent library (it does not add to
the DT_RPATH).  Does anybody know exactly when ld does that?
Is there a concise document regarding this or does one have to
resort to the source code?
ld.info is definitely not very enlightening on this issue.

Debian with its link_all_deplibs=no will have to work around this
issue.
