Paul Eggert c88873d3a4 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES):
Use -Wl,--as-needed, not bare --as-needed, since HP-UX 11.11
cc merely issues a bunch of annoying warnings for --as-needed
(this problem was reported by Bob Proulx).  Also, try linking with
-lm to detect a bug in binutils 2.16 (this problem was reported
by Ralf Wildenhues).
