I know exactly which standard -ffast-math violates (IEEE/ISO floating

--as-needed doesn't have any warning about this, there isn't any
standard that it violates since it's the default behavior at least
for 2 platform (one from those who wrote most of the ELF spec...).
Point the spec, and the paragraph violated.
ISO/IEC 14882:1998 section 3.7.1 paragraph 2.
"If an object of static storage duration has initialization or a
destructor with side effects, it shall not be eliminated even if
it appears to be unused, except that a class object or its copy
may be eliminated as specified in 12.8."
Unchanged in the 2003 revision.
Is that related to linking? I don't think so. Still, PE and ELF are
older than the first C++ spec so, IFF your reading of this chapter is
correct, C++ is broken by design.
