[poky] elfutils build fails on Fedroa 14

[Wolfgang Denk]

Trying to build on a Fedora 14 box, elfutis fails with this error:

...

In Fedora 14, the following command gets generated:

/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.5.1/collect2 --build-id --no-add-needed --eh-frame-hdr -m elf_x86_64 --hash-style=gnu -dynamic-linker /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -o objdump /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.5.1/../../../../lib64/crt1.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.5.1/../../../../lib64/crti.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.5.1/crtbegin.o -L/opt/poky/build-laverne-4.0-kilauea/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.5.1 -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.5.1/../../../../lib64 -L/lib/../lib64 -L/usr/lib/../lib64 -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.5.1/../../.. --add-needed -rpath-link ../libelf:../libdw -rpath-link /opt/poky/build-laverne-4.0-kilauea/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib -rpath /opt/poky/build-laverne-4.0-kilauea/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib -O1 objdump.o ../libasm/libasm.so ../libebl/libebl.a ../libelf/libelf.so ../lib/libeu.a -ldl -lgcc --as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as-needed -lc -lgcc --as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as

Unfortunately the "ld" command in elfutils-0.148 does not understand
the '--no-add-needed'; I've tried to find any existing fixes for
this, but what I found just added a "-Xlinker --add-needed" to the
command line, which does not help here since ./ld understands neither
'--no-add-needed' nor '--add-needed'.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
