It was previously set in debian/rules but not exported to the shell 
environment that runs ./configure. In debhelper compat levels <9 you 
have to do this by hand or explicitely pass the flags to ./configure.

While I understand that --as-needed removes the apparently unnecessary 
linkage against libstdc++, which was artificially introduced by the 
patch before, I fail to understand the reasons that are given in the 
patch commit. Could someone please elaborate?
