As a result, you'll be causing dozens of FTBFS bugs just before the feature freeze. I think this is entirely the wrong time in the release cycle to do such a change, if it is done at all.
I've been fixing upstream projects for weeks to build with --no-as-needed. The list of projects that fail to build should be much smaller now, especially for GNOME and Freedesktop stuff.
Well. Even pretty fundamental GNOME stuff like gtk2-devel is still broken. Look here:
[root@localhost ~]# pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 -pthread -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0
-lX11 is missing (at least, maybe more). Any gtk app using pkg-config to figure which libraries are required fails to build now.
I've seen a simliar issue with libpng (-lz missing) and I suspect tons of other *.pc files are broken too.
