I always kept forgetting about these weird linking rules used in syslog-ng
(which break all the time with --as-needed or --no-copy-dt-needed-entries linker flags).

Build log (including configure options):

ftp://buildlogs.pld-linux.org/th/x86_64/FAIL/syslog-ng,9a44d5db-398c-4559-b35c-63d55e241838.bz2

BUT it is with a patch:

http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/packages/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-link.patch?rev=1.12

which fixes linking but links with these dynamicly (since libtool is used for that linking and thus -Bstatic is ignored)
thus breaking "mixed linking" idea.

So maybe the solution is to fail at configure time when --as-needed or --no-copy-dt-needed-entries linker flags are used?
