This is not a GCC-specific thing: it's a local distro patch to GCC's
specfiles forcing the addition of -Wl,--no-copy-dt-needed-entries to all
link lines (or -Wl,--no-add-needed on older binutils, which means the
same thing but is a confusing option name so is deprecated). This is a
good idea in the longer run, even though it does break things now.

(A lot of distros have this patch, but not all. Upstream GCC does not
have it.)

This is, of course, a local distro version. What patches are applied
depends on what distro you're using.
