--- Run this script to link the executable with fewer direct dependencies.
---
--- You shouldn't call this directly; instead, use the configure script's
--- --enable-asneeded option and run make normally.  This isn't enabled by
--- default because there is the potential for runtime linking problems on
--- some platforms.  If you have a newer version of GCC, you should prefer
--- the --as-needed linker flag over this method, though they both should
--- accomplish the same thing.
