I found the same thing on pretty much all my gnome binaries, but not only gnome.
I'm not sure if it really increases startup times, but I did find out that when
using --as-needed LDFLAGS some packages break. For example gnome-media, and more
specifically gnome-cd has problems with symbols. 
I'm not sure if the best way to solve this issue is by using --as-needed, or by
looking into pkg-config, and maybe tweaking it to behave more reasonably. (Or is
there a reason to really link each binary to so many libs?)
