While i recognize the fact, that --as-needed doesn't (and probably never
will) catch up with some of it's use cases, i see no point in denying a
"fix" for a broken --as-needed, even if it's not against the ld or gcc
codebase.

The message will use elog, which is user configurable and some of our
users have it mail them the output. In one case, namely the paludis
package manager, elog messages get shown at the end of the complete
batch build. In every case, the user gets a log file with the messages
the package emitted.

The use flags will have a (unsupported upstream) added to their
description.
