 If `-Wl,--no-as-needed` needs to be passed on Linux and //not// on OS X,
 it should probably just go in a `platform linux` block instead of a
 variant. It should also be set using `configure.ldflags`, unless the
 configure script doesn’t correctly respect its environment.

 Base does run on Linux; I think the pregenerated indexes are created on
 Linux. Building ports is an entirely different story, of course.
