A note from Change Wrangler: This Change proposal requires mass rebuild. The deadline for
Change proposals requiring mass rebuild has passed two weeks ago (June 19th).  I will
leave the decision whether this can still be accepted to the F29 scope on RelEng team as I
do not have clear visibility how much work this might bring.

@jkurik, ohh! There is nothing needed from releng, just if something fails entirely,
second mass rebuild would be needed. But I don't expect that.

@ignatenkobrain Then I am going to hold off on this whether we should include it in mass
rebuild or not until the change request is processed.

``
Last I looked (less than a year ago), libtool still doesn't play well with
-Wl,--as-needed and needs some sort of patch/hack to either libtool itself or %configure
to overcome the reordering problem, I don't think it's fixed upstream (after all
these years, sigh). See eg
https://sigquit.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/why-asneeded-doesnt-work-as-expe...
and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=347650.  It's still unfixed
upstream AFAIK.

Note that I'm certainly not objecting to this change, just pointing out that merely
adding -Wl,--as-needed to LDFLAGS wont work for a significant number of packages.

This change has landed on redhat-rpm-config-116-1 and redhat-rpm-config-118-1 which were
built on Jul 10th and Aug 15th of 2018.

Not including it in mass rebuild as its not needed anymore.
