media-libs/imlib2 fails with USE="-*" and -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-undefined due to missing -lm for a plugin.

as a dev, you really should be aware of proper patch management.  that means creating a patch named "as-needed.patch" is certainly not acceptable.

going beyond that, you should review this document:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/clean-patches

and to address the original issue, such a trivial change really shouldnt be done to the autotool source files, especially considering it alone needs to run a full autoreconf.  a simple sed can accomplish the same exact thing without forcing significantly more build time overhead.
