Why are you expecting a NEEDED entry for libutil? There's nothing in your main
program that depends on anything in that library, so by the definition of the
--as-needed option, gold is doing exactly what I would expect.

Your command line lists "-lutil" twice, once between the as-needed options, and
once after. Gold ignores any shared library listed on the command line that it
has already processed.

If you want the library in your DT_NEEDED list, remove the first copy from your
command line (the one between --as-needed and --no-as-needed).
