If I remove the -Wl,--as-needed option from command line, everything works just
fine.

I'm not sure if this is because of some corrupted object file or whatelse.
In any case those assertions are a bug, isn't it?

Note that all libraries given with -l and prefixed with wxlua_ are static while
all libraries given with -l and prefixed with wx_ are shared (.so).


Some info on my system:
uname -m = i686
uname -r = 2.6.12-10-386
uname -s = Linux
Distribution is Ubuntu 5.10.

frm@genius:~/work/wxLua$ ld --version
GNU ld version 2.16.1 Debian GNU/Linux

frm@genius:~/work/wxLua$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9)

I can easily create a zipped archive containing the object files which give
problems, if you need (~ 7MB uncompressed).
Just let me know...
