 Is there a reason that items like this (gnu specific '--as-needed'
 passed to solaris ld) is not handled in pkgsrc wrappers?  I also
 recently ran across a couple of packages that were passing
 --as-needed, and fixed it with:
   .if ${OPSYS} == "SunOS"
   BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM+=   rm:-Wl,--as-needed
   .endif
 
 and in fact this package already has a section like above, but for
 ${OPSYS} == "Darwin"
 
 I can't find it right now but I know I've run into other similar
 things where it seems like a wrapper would be the nice global fix,
 rather than patching every package as it is found... maybe it was
 --version-script xxx vs. -W xxx ?
