With this patch my ld --as-needed crashes even more often:
$ cat qv.cc
#include <qglobal.h>
int main(void) {return !qVersion();}
$ g++ -c -Wall -I/usr/include/qt3 qv.cc
$ ld --as-needed --eh-frame-hdr -m elf_i386 qv.o -L/usr/lib/qt3/lib
-lqt-mt -lpthread
Segmentation fault
(libqt-mt is linked with -lpthread, libpthread is not needed for qv.o)
