I have been using this option since June 2013, no problems.

Since then I have rebuild most of X11, icu, boost, qt4/5, kde4/5, python2/3, 
perl, gcc, mesalib, bits of gnome, etc..

I will look at rebuilding all the older spells on my system


$ ls -l /etc/sorcery/local/config
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1519 Jun 13  2013 /etc/sorcery/local/config

$ grep LD /etc/sorcery/local/config
      CUSTOM_LDFLAGS="${CUSTOM_LDFLAGS:--Wl,--as-needed}"
