[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/mesa3d: disable --as-needed linker flag for Codesourcery ARM 2014.05 toolchain

[Yann E. MORIN]

Romain, All,

On 2020-06-13 12:47 +0200, Romain Naour spake thusly:
> Meson build system enable by default -Wl,--as-needed [1][2] in the linker command line
> and due to this the libmesa_dri_drivers.so build fail with the Codesourcery ARM and
> Aarch64 2014.05 toolchain:

What about removing this old toolchain, now?

Ditto other old toolchains?

That might make sense to push upstream, no?
