+This option affects ELF DT_NEEDED tags for dynamic libraries mentioned
+on the command line after the @option{--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. @option{--as-needed} causes DT_NEEDED tags to only be emitted
+for libraries that satisfy some reference from regular objects.
+@option{--no-as-needed} restores the default behaviour.
