New issue 111 by ryandesi...@gmail.com: ld: unknown option: -as-needed
http://code.google.com/p/gpick/issues/detail?id=111

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. scons && make

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected successful compile but got:

ld warning: option -s is obsolete and being ignored
ld: unknown option: -as-needed
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
scons: *** [build/source/gpick] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gpick 0.2.5, Mac OS X 10.5.8, Xcode 3.1.4, gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc.
build 5493)

Please provide any additional information below.
My understanding is that first of all the option is misspelled in your
SConscript: it's supposed to be "--as-needed" not "-as-needed". However
that's not understood by the old Mac OS X linker either; I understand this
is a GNU ld option, and Apple's ld is not GNU ld. If you want to use
--as-needed when it's supported, that's fine, but you need to detect
linkers that don't support it and not give the argument to them.

Darwin platform detection added and a different set of flags is now used.
This should also fix issue 112. Please test the attached patch and report
if it fixes the issue, or needs additional improvements.
