Okay I originally thought this was caused by splitdebug but enabling it with -g3 seemed not to kill my system, so I've changed bug #118207 and opening this one for the breakage. The problem is _not_ caused by --as-needed flag.

-g3 is known to sometimes generate bad code, but besides that fact, i dont know why people insist on using it -g -ggdb provides plenty of information most of the time
-g -ggdb worked fine. -g3 should be filtered then?
no
Diego, You never really explained how this kills bash. What exactly happened?
Lots of Aborts... not much to say.
