Despite a previous patch from flameeyes (bug #117919), libwww-5.4.0 is still having problems to be linked with -Wl,--as-needed (at least with binutils-2.16.92). I will attach a patch which fixed that for me (should be applied after the existing "${FILESDIR}/${P}-asneeded.patch").

Created attachment 85775 [details, diff] libwww-5.4.0-asneeded-part2.patch
flameeyes: I'm no --as-needed expert, so if you can reproduce the bug, test the patch and report back if it fixes the remaining issues, then I'll apply it (merge it into the existing patch) ASAP.
Here libwww compiles fine, but this patch does not break it, so I suppose it's safe to merge.
I have merged the patch into the existing patch. Please sync (wait a couple of hours) and reemerge the ebuild to see if it still works for you. If not, then please reopen this bug and paste the error message.
