Let's create a different testcase showing also similar symptoms of not
correctly adding DT_NEEDED entries as documented, this time to search scopes:

% cat bla.c
extern double sin (double);
double f (double i) { return sin (i); }
% gcc -c -fPIC bla.c
% ./ld/ld-new -shared -o libt1.so bla.o -lm -zdefs
% readelf -d libt1.so | grep NEEDED
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libm.so.6]

Everything fine so far.  Now we want to generate libt2 also referring
to a libm function, want to link it only with libt1 and expect that
there's some way to include libm into the search scopes with some option to ld.
 The documented option is --copy-dt-needed-entries, so:

% cat bla2.c
extern double f (double);
extern double sin (double);
double g (double i) { return f(i) + sin (i); }
% gcc -c -fPIC bla2.c

So, bla2 refers to functions of libt1 and to libm, but still:

% ./ld/ld-new -shared -o libt2.so bla.o --copy-dt-needed-entries -L. -lt1 -z
defs
bla2.o: In function `g':
bla2.c:(.text+0x22): undefined reference to `sin'
