At least -lpng12 is gone in several build logs.

Two findings after I tested a bit on Sunday:

 * Some programs insert LDFLAGS after LIBS. This works for appending
   libraries from within the spec file (such as -lm), but linker options
   like --as-needed only affect libraries following it.

 * The %configure macro (at least since F-16) does
     LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:--Wl,-z,relro }"; export LDFLAGS; 
   so one cannot simply export a customized $LDFLAGS in the spec file
   without disturbing the macro.
