In particular, from that thread is referred the GCC problem that you wanted
to fix with adding --no-add-needed:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-04/msg01130.html

The problem specifically was that libunwind was added to DT_NEEDED because
it was itself DT_NEEDED by libgcc_s, and it was said that this was how the
linker is supposed to work.  Now, meanwhile the default got switched, i.e.
--no-copy-dt-needed-entries is the default, but we're supposed to be able
to switch back with --copy-dt-needed-entries.  And this bug report is about
the fact, that this doesn't work.
