I posted here 3 weeks ago about fixed binutils:
"No assertion fails, no internal errors, no segfaults anymore."

Of course a lot of binaries don't link when --as-needed is specified
due to incorrect usage: libraries specified before objects, objects linked
with underlinked libraries, etc.  These bugs are not related to binutils,
but since we enabled --as-needed by default in Sisyphus, we have to fix
such bugs.
