Ooof. Possibly, but I can't say I really recall at this point.

I do remember somewhere around gcc 4.6 I had to change things around
since the linker arguments had to be at the end of the gcc string
(where as before I was throwing them in w/ the CFLAGS).  I think it
was then I added the "-Wl,-no-as-needed" bit after googling around.
You might look at that as well?

Sorry I'm not of much help.
