Thanks again for the clarification w.r.t. the hash-style. IMO, 
--as-needed is a must (any breakage can be reported upstream). 
--no-undefined seems useful, but if you say it breaks a large portion of 
our packages, then I support your proposal.


BTW, we should include default CFLAGS/LDFLAGS for official and community 
packages in the packaging guidelines, and recommend AUR users to use 
those as well, so they will test their packages in the right 
environment. If this breaks any package, the flag(s) should be unset 
inside the PKGBUILD and a comment should be added.
