Another case is that xyz is a library with inline functions, which may warrant adding -l to .pc files at all times because you can't know whether or not a xyz-using source actually included the particular inline function. That would be two casess I can think of why openSUSE, and relatedly Debian, use --as-needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
