Inside the build service environment created by /usr/bin/build, $SUSE_ASNEEDED is set and ld behaves as if it were passed -Wl,--as-needed. Outside that box, in a "normal" system, SUSE_ASNEEDED=0. This behavior is puzzling to some people every now and then. https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2017-05/msg00000.html I think we should always enable --as-needed for the openSUSE "normal" system. Debian systems also behave such that an incorrect -l order leads to builds stopping.
