P.S. I don't think that any actions from rel-eng are needed.
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 When is this change going to land?
@mohanboddu As soon as change is approved. Everything is ready for 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-expected-for-your-libraries-on-your-autotools-project/ and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=347650.
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.
@ignatenkobrain , what is the status of this request?

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