But isn't the test suite intended to test *our* ld copy?

Our ld copy cannot be configured with default --as-needed.  So they must
patch ld to make --as-needed default anyway.  And they can just patch
the test suite in the same patch.

The problem is it would be a very bad start to support some specific
downstream change.  Once we start to support distro A, distro B, C, D,
etc. will attempt to push their specific change.  Then we'll end up one
of the following consequences:

a. fill the upstream repo with all the adaptions for 42 different
distros;

or

b. claim Debian is "special" and we only support Debian but not other
distros.

Both a and b are stupid to me.
