Description Daniel M. Weeks 2016-10-17 16:34:36 UTC 
It appears building with as-needed in the LDFLAGS breaks virtualgl:

Reproducible: Always

Or rather than overriding useful features, fix the build system instead.

My understanding is this isn't an issue with the build system. The libraries that break with as-needed are shims that are meant to be preloaded to intercept calls and are incomplete by design.

According to upstream github issue seems unlikely the situation will change. Thanks for reporting the issue.
