--- Comment #7 from Cary Coutant <ccoutant at google dot com> ---
The ld documentation says:

--as-needed
--no-as-needed
   This option affects ELF DT_NEEDED tags for dynamic libraries
   mentioned on the command line after the --as-needed option.
   Normally the linker will add a DT_NEEDED tag for each dynamic
   library mentioned on the command line, regardless of whether
   the library is actually needed or not. --as-needed causes a
   DT_NEEDED tag to only be emitted for a library that at that
   point in the link satisfies a non-weak undefined symbol
   reference from a regular object file or, if the library is not
   found in the DT_NEEDED lists of other libraries, a non-weak
   undefined symbol reference from another dynamic library.
   Object files or libraries appearing on the command line after
   the library in question do not affect whether the library is
   seen as needed. This is similar to the rules for extraction of
   object files from archives. --no-as-needed restores the
   default behaviour.

Note where it says *non-weak*. It seems to me that gold is doing the right
thing here and BFD ld is not.
