This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

configure:698: checking host system type
configure:721: checking for gcc
configure:825: checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works
configure:841: gcc -o conftest    conftest.c  1>&5
/usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--as-needed'
/usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:

#line 836 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}
