seems like this fixes one use case while breaking others.  for example
(the exact contents of test.c doesn't matter):
$ gcc test.c -static -lpthread; size a.out
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 658226    3488   12568  674282   a49ea a.out
$ gcc test.c -static -Wl,--whole-archive -lpthread
-Wl,--no-whole-archive; size a.out
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.3/../../../../lib/libpthread.a(sem_open.o):
In function `sem_open':
/build/buildd/eglibc-2.11.1/nptl/sem_open.c:333: warning: the use of
`mktemp' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp' or `mkdtemp'
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
